But what's on your credit report that's making it not good ?&nbsp;</P> Wed, 17 Jun 2015 03:12:15 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078121#M1147598 Anonymous 2015-06-17T03:12:15Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078129#M1147602 <P>Unfortunately, they don't have a easily&nbsp;available secured product. The easiest card from them would either be one of their charge cards, which all have the same requirements (except the Centurion) or possibly the Delta Gold credit card. These still require good credit. I'm not sure what your profile is like, but it's probably better to have a short credit history than one with baddies for getting an Amex.</P> Wed, 17 Jun 2015 03:15:47 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078129#M1147602 Anonymous 2015-06-17T03:15:47Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078134#M1147603 My wife got in with a 670 and a fresh medical collection on Ex Wed, 17 Jun 2015 03:17:21 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078134#M1147603 Anonymous 2015-06-17T03:17:21Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078135#M1147604 ^ none of that is remotely true actually lol<BR /><BR />i got approved for the amex ED with around a 660, 3 late payments within 7 months and a 60 day late within a year.<BR /><BR />you can try for a charge card. heard those are easier to get than their revolvers Wed, 17 Jun 2015 03:17:35 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078135#M1147604 Anonymous 2015-06-17T03:17:35Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078137#M1147605 cardnalsyn - i was typing mine before yours sent lol Wed, 17 Jun 2015 03:18:13 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078137#M1147605 Anonymous 2015-06-17T03:18:13Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078143#M1147608 <P>What charge cards do they offer?

Many people go for the Premier Rewards Gold, because it has its annual fee waived for the first year and has good benefits and a nice bonus. Unfortunately, that card you mentioned is issued by a different bank so it won't get you in with Amex.</P> Wed, 17 Jun 2015 03:24:32 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078147#M1147610 Anonymous 2015-06-17T03:24:32Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-to-get-in-with-Amex/m-p/4078149#M1147611 actually if you're feeling ballsy you can app for a charge card and, upon approval, app for a revolver to see if you qualify.
