https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Amex-BCP-what-does-my-status-mean/m-p/1625834#M448962 Just applied for the BCP this afternoon. Got the 7-10 days message. Checked the app status and it said check back in 24 hours. Now it says in progress? I clicked on the link to be updated electronically. Am I getting the "ding" letter?

I checked 20 min later and it was approved. I think if it was a denial it would be denied instantly.</P> Thu, 04 Oct 2012 23:41:17 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Amex-BCP-what-does-my-status-mean/m-p/1625844#M448965 Anonymous 2012-10-04T23:41:17Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Amex-BCP-what-does-my-status-mean/m-p/1625848#M448967 Sounds good. I've gotten the instant denial the last 2 times. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm.
