Rakuten Amex Approval

TheHiker — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 11:42:18 GMT

Wanted to add another card to my mix, saw the new Rakuten card and decided to give it a shot. Imprint had to do some identity verification things and it went pending. Wasn't a hardpull and I have the Robinhood Visa so I wasn't super sad if I got denied. Few hours later got approved for $5,500 and I took the offer, I'll use this as my online shopping card

Congratulations on the new card. Hope it works out to eek out even more cash back for you. You're having a great start to the month with a new card and multiple CLIs.

Thank you! Wish I could raise my Robinhood Visa limit but doesn't look like anyone gets CLI's on that card 😕

Nice pickup; congrats on the Rakuten Amex approval. That $5,500 limit is a strong start, and it’s great that you got it without a hard pull.

@TheHiker I called Imprint and spoke with them about that... they are still developing their platform(s) and the guy on the phone said they are rolling out CLI buttons or "luv button" in the next 3-4 months...

he sounded confident, and he was even able to give me a $75 credit for something they messed up (its a long story that I wont go into) but I was very satisfied with the service although... I can tell they are still hammering out a lot of bugs and kinks.

Congrats! Enjoy your new shiny metal card. What color did you go with?

Thank you, decided to go with the grey actually

Congratulations on your new found liquidity!

I have not found any major breaking bugs. I have seen login issues on the Rakuten website but that is just Rakuten being Rakuten. I see you got a metal card too. I thought I was the only one. The silver design works well with the metal that the pictures do not give justice for.

Was a pleasant surprise it's metal tbh, all of my other cards except the Robinhood Visa are plastic. The grey seemed like it would stand out in my wallet more. My BCP and AAA Visa are both blue so adding another color is nice
