I did almost the same thing like you did. I got freedom pending as well.
however, I was told that it could be because your credit file is less than 2 years in which case they will need to verify your ssn because on ex it will show unverified with those have less than two year credit files. Why not call the backdoor number and find out the status? They will let you know if they need more info to further review
Congratulations on your approval for your Amex BCE! Continue Success in The World of Credit Cards!
Congrats on your approval! Since your a college student, you might want to consider the uPromise Sallie Mae card. It has some really good rewards, but they can only be used to pay off student loans. If you have loans, it could be a good card for you.
