I recently applied for the Green card and got NPSL pretty easily, I have a thin file but have been building my scores up. My CS is 749 according to TU, wasn't approved instantly however; they verified some information and then gave me an approval over the phone. I further applied for the Amex Skymiles Blue Card, after some Recon; I came out of it with a $10k credit limit. Hope this gives you some insight into Amex's approval practices.

What was your credit history like and any new accounts before and how many inquiries u had

Have you checked their prequalification site? Their prequals are generally pretty solid.

I’d definitely advise waiting to apply until after that balance you have reports the 50% utilization or lower (you mentioned September). Within reason, Amex is not known to be particularly inquiry or new account sensitive. How recently were the inquiries you have on Experian? Are all 10 on Experian?

OP, I believe some key elements to your questions have already been addressed by some members on your other thread:

As has been mentioned, continue to build history, tackle the high utilization and determine which of the two products would benefit you in the long run. Don't choose a CC just to see what's the "easiest" in terms of getting approved. Both Green and PRG have AFs, so consider the value.

All inquiries are done in this year from some credit card and a auto loan

Was supposed to be my original question I will side tracted a little bit but my question was gonna say after I do what I do should I apply for to gold or the green and is there any requirements different between the 2 cards or the same

The underwriting is similar for both, the AFs obviously aren't.

Have you done some research to determine which is more akin to align with your spending or lifestyle? You can visit the AmEx site and compare both cards side by side to determine which benefits provide what you're looking for.

I had a very thin file. I worked on my scores diligently with a secured card from my local credit union. I had 4 inquiries when I applied, I have about 11 now. All newly opened credit accounts.
