Approved for a delta sky miles Amex

Hello all, been a long while since I've posted. I ended up killing my credit 5 years ago after paying more attention to my father that passed than keeping my accounts in good standing. Let several laps to 120 days.

ended up paying them back but the damage was done. During that time I kept my secured discover and unsecured cap1 in outstanding shape.

to date my discover is STILL secured.", git it in 2016. And cap one has denied every CLI I've ever asked for.

SOOOOOO...

last night I applied for a mission visa and was approved for 1000.00. At the instant I was approved I got a message from Amex that a hard inquiry was made. I had signed up for their free credit score thing. I logged into the Amex free credit score account and saw cards recommended for you and that was way different than before so I plugged info in for any prequal offers...

low and behold a delta sky miles came up. That's different from times past!!!

figuring I had zero shot and knowing I'm not gonna apply until 2024, I sent the app. It came back with do you want any authorized users? I clicked skip and low and behold APPROVED for 1000.00.

stats are 628 TU, fico 8, that's who they checked and 731 vantagescore 3 TU. I FINALLY got a foot in with Amex!

I've about given up on cap one, stuck at 1300 line for 5 years and discover won't unsecure me at my 2500 line.

zero lates etc fir the past two years. Several lates and derogatory from 2017. They all will fall off in 2024. All bass paid however with outstanding payment history on cap and discover.

im finally in!

I applied (see other post) and was approved for a delta skymiles gold amex, low starting limit of 1000, BUT I'm FINALLY IN!!!!
I ended up taking them up on getting the card number early etc and just used it, and of course it was approved on the transaction (it still wasn't real to me and expected a decline).
I had called amex and told them I was fixin to open it up and the rep was gracious, as I was afraid I'd spook amex with not having the card in my hands and using it 6/10ths of its limit.
The rep said (I'm paraphrasing here) use it, pay the bills on time and amex is a great family to be in. So, it hit me... I FINALLY, after 4 denials over 3 years have a amex!!!!

im on cloud nine right now!
