Rhaeny — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 01:23:14 GMT

Yea I got a denial and since it was an hp I have nothing to lose by trying for a recon. Are they open on weekends or Is it best to do it through the week?

The green card. I was an AU on one for at least 15 years and paid that bill on my own, plus I've had a company card for 5 years and pay that one on time as well. Just thought it might be time to get my own but the only reason they gave for denial was bk. So maybe if I talk to someone I might not have to wait another year for the bk to fall off. It's a long shot but I'm going for it.

VWTUNER may be referring to "No apps till 2014" in your siggy.

Ohhh!! Haha! Well the app for Amex is the one from 12/31/2012 listed in my signature so I hope I won't need another hp!

The BK is probably why Amex didn't approve you instantly.

Of all the issuers, Amex is likely the most anti-bk one out there. Good luck on your recon, but you'll likely have wait until the BK falls off before they approve you.

I missed the BK in your siggy ~ yeah, AMEX is very unlikely to approve you with a recent BK. In some instances people have been approved with very old BKs reporting, like 8, 9 years....

Sure they might not but I'm sure going to try. The thing is that I do have in my favor is 1 card that I had for 15 years always paid on time and I ran a lot of money through it monthly. I also have another active card through my employer that I run a lot through each month. Don't know if that's going to help or not, but I have nothing to lose trying...LOL! The worse they say is nope and you have to wait till your bk falls off. I have less than a year for that so then I'll have to wait. But this is going to be a challenge so I always love those

Good luck!

Fortune favors the bold, I agree! Either way, I'm sure Amex will be more than happy to issue you a card in November.
