What's was your starting CL? Once I get past the automatic 5yr 1mo blacklist for BK7 not involving them, BCE or BCP would potentially be of interest to me.

I started with a $1000 sl
How long have you had the account?
I don't think the BK is the reason for denial. Generally, when you get approved for an Amex revolver with a $1k SL, it means you barely got in and it can be a bit hard to grow it at first.

Pretty much yes you do. AmEX rarely gives a CLI on new cards with a BK still reporting. Once it's off that changes. I know this from experience.

The BK is actually very mucgh the reason they were denied a CLI and also the reason for the SL of $1K and "barely" getting in. While AmEx will let you in with a BK after 5.1 years they still use that to keep you on tight reins until it's no longer reporting. I know this first hand.

I stand corrected. 
I just figured they wouldn't let you in at all with a revolver with a BK still showing.

In July it will be two years
Yea the $1k approvals can be hard to grow, sometimes taking years. I'm in the same boat. I got approved for a BCP back in December, but only for $1k. Tried for a CLI at 61 and 91 days, no dice. Waiting until 181 days next month and then we'll see.
