Approved for AMEX Costco True Earnings

CrdtLrnr — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 03:55:54 GMT

I recently applied at Costco and received an instant approval for $10K. AMEX pulled EX of course. My TU is 744, 1% util across three credit cards. I also have an AMEX Platinum charge card. .I shop at Costco and also want to take advantage of the 3% restaurant cash rebate. Will complement my AMEX Blue Cash card.

Is this your first Amex card? Did they match the CL to another credit card? i.e. do you have another CC with 10k limit?

Given the post, it's at least his third.

My USAA and PenFed cards have CLs of $35K and $50K respectively. Blue Cash is $6K, Cost TR $10K. I believe my large mortgage payment is a factor in their decision. No baddies, but DTI is something AMEX considers--they ask for HHI on the application.
