2 Amex instant approvals in 1 day!

Anonymous — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 01:50:53 GMT

I am so excited, I can't sit still! I applied for premier rewards gold and blue amex and go both. The gold is being express delivered (wow) and the other will arrive in 5 days. I couldn't five days so I called for a CL......drum roll.....$15,000 smackaroos! This is twice as high as my highest card! Thanks amex for giving me a chance! This is definitely worth 2 inquiries!

Congrats! If they're being that generous with their CLs, I can't wait to see what mine will be on my Blue Cash!

I'm on my way to the garden. Let's have tea, and I will get your mind off the cards...

What's the benefit of the Gold over the Blue?

FYI, it was only 1 pull from EX!

It seems like they are being quite generous with CLs if you have an excellent score. I just got a Blue Cash Preferred with a $19,300 CL with a 764 EX. Just remember if you are gardening that if you cave and apply now, yeah you might get approved with an alright limit, but if you garden for a while longer and get your score where you want it you will start with a great limit. Stick to your guns (or shovels or whatever you use in a garden) and you'll get what you seek when the time is right.

IMO, nothing special, traveling benefits, and you earn membership points instead of getting cash-back. Plus, the Gold doesn't have a pre-set limit, so technically, you can spend as much as you want with the Gold (but you have to pay in full at the end of the month)

I think you are quite correct in the "try to get your score up first then double app" method if a person can wait that long. (from real or imagined forces, LOL) If a person can clean up their reports, get their scores up into the 700's, kudos to your EX 764 BTW, the "double-single" method is totally doable and with the higher scores you might get a great CL. There was one of our brothers here who did not get any love from AMEX despite a 748 or so score, so as always remember: YMMV

Congrats on your very nice CL LTomBerry, saw your posts here and on the other board, great work my friend!!! I am not very good at this computer stuff, maybe someone can start a sort of AMEX double-single master thread where we can post out experiences on one thread instead of on a dozen or so like now. One stop information for those who want to rebuild their credit, ahhh, two cards at a time, if they can!!! Or it might not be permissable here on myfico. Maybe a mod can weigh in on this subject????? Just a thought...
