AMEX Optima - received application

Jmc70 — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 14:44:38 GMT

All-

I had an AMEX Zync account that unfortunately fell past due because of a family situation. After about a year or so, I contacted AMEX and their colleciton agency (Nationwide Credit, Inc.) to pay the balance in full. Once the payment processed and posted to the account, I received a letter from AMEX saying that I have the opportunity to "Regain Card Membership" and was qualified for an AMEX Optima account. All I have to do is complete the small appication and mail it back,.....but to what address?

Does anyone have the address this application needs to be mailed to? The application has a deadline of July 10, 2015.

Please advise - I've contacted AMEX and the collection agency and have received multiple adresses to mail this to.

If I were in your shoes, I would simply send it to the return address at the top of the letter.

I understand- but should I mail it back to the address at the top of the letter, or is there a different address?

I second that. I would definitely mail it back to the Amex return address at the top of your letter.

Good. Glad you got it straightened out. I just assume that even if you had sent it to the address on the letter, it would make its way to the correct place.

The Optima is a good offer. Treating it well will help you in the long run, at least as far as your relationship with Amex is concerned. I had one in 2005, and defaulted on it. Somehow, I got back in with them anyway (after paying a settlement).

I'm so glad you posted this. I am just about to call and pay a four year old American Express chargeoff and had heard about the program but kept seeing post that the program was no longer available. Glad to know if is still an option. Would love to get back in their good graces.

How long was it after you paid the chargeoff that you received the letter.

How did you get this application? I called in about 15 days ago and they said they dont offer this anymore. Can you send me any info you have so I could call and see if I can get this card too?
