Amex application in progress

Anonymous — Sun, 12 Mar 2017 02:36:36 GMT

Hello everyone im new to the forum

But I saw some post before but didnt actually singup

Ill start to say that english is not my first lenguage

But ill try to explain to the best possible

I applied for the Amex green card 3 days ago and the application is still in progress

Now I did called them to find out if they needed it anything from me

CSR said they were checking some background information on me to be sure I was the person applying

and that they would conclude their search in a few days.... does this mean im likely to get approved or maybe denied ?

Currently I have a capitalone card with a limit of 300$ open for about 6 months

and a credit one card with a limit of 700$ open about 6 months too

never late always on time and no other major flaws on my credit other then new to credit

Credit card balance show 0 on my reports

Thank You in advance everyone

If they were going to deny you they would have done so already. Let them finish up making sure you are you and you'll likely get the card you applied for. When they have to stop and look into someone it does take awhile for them to figure things out.

I asked them for a high limit CLI on 3/1 and usually the process goes quickly within 5-7 days. This time around though it's already day 11 and probably won't see anything on it until Monday or later according to the info I've been given.

Just give them some time and keep an eye on your mailbox for correspondence from them if they need some docs or something.

Sure, you're welcome. Waiting is hard when we're used to seeing instant results to things these days. Waiting in the CC world usually means better results rather than an instant approval/denial. I have to wait several days each time I hit the CLI button on my Discover but it usually pays off with a $6K CLI each time so it's worth waiting for. Waiting for amex to do my CLI should result in a significant bump as well. The last one was a $20K bump up.
