ShazAMEX!

tinglywoowoo — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 10:10:35 GMT

I’ve been in the garden so long that I haven’t been in these parts in ages but I honestly thought that I had gone as far with my credit rebuilding as was reasonably possible. Once I got the green light from Discover and Citi (Double Cash), I figured the glory days were behind me. When I got an envelope from Macy’s, emblazoned with “Important Information Enclosed” on the front, I figured it would be a CL decrease or something adverse. Nope! Turns out I have finally broken through that AMEX ceiling that has eluded me almost from the start. I’m ecstatic and it serves as reasonable consolation that the world won’t end if I don’t get the Chase or British Airways cards that I have held up as the ultimate prize for so long. Heck, even now I can still remember how I nearly keeled over when Amazon gave me that first unsecured card with a whopping $200 CL. I am so grateful for all of the sage advice I got from reading all your posts.

I’m particularly happy that my account open date will remain the same with my new card. Didn’t happen with Wal-Mart or Sears.

So, if anyone is feeling discouraged and impatient with their current credit crop, just hold on. If I can claw back from the basement from where I started, anyone else can, too!

Thank you all!

Macys card just runs on amex network I believe. Not a Amex issued card. Just my 2 cents. No matter though congrats and keep the good stuff coming. LOL.

@tinglywoowoo , what you got was the Macys store card upgrade to Amex version, which is a great accomplishment! Amex doesnt back the card, it just runs on the Amex network, meaning you can use it anywhere Amex is accepted.

I would accept the upgrade. It doesnt report as a new account, and you keep the history, open date, CL etc...Congrats on the upgrade

Thanks, everybody. I figured it's silly to be a sad sack over this. It's a rather nice crumb and I'm going to take it. Besides all that, I adore Macy's and this could take my love to the next level.

Thank you!
