Amex has a long memory!

[Anonymous]

I apped for a SPG Amex and was declined. The reason given was because they canceled my previous accounts. FYI, that was 22 years ago in a BK. So, for anyone who has wondered, I have found the truth. They have a very long memory. Oh well, I think that's one I can cross off my list for about a hundred years. I also had a primary go bad while I was the AU in 2008. I feel like a broken toy with missing parts.

Wow 22 years ago? That's insane. Just let it go Amex. Just let it go! 😒

PenFed brought up a repo from 30 years ago. My ex let it go back and never told me.
Heck, I had forgotten who even financed the thing.
There were only a few payments left on that 1984 Plymouth

I somehow just got approved for an Amex 1.5 yrs post bk discharge but they weren't included in it. I did have a green card through my employer for years before my bk so maybe that helped me.

The good news is.....if you decide you want to pay them back, they will let you back in. Me personally, I would have tried for the Delta Gold...its the easiest, and also, you should know this by now, you've been on the forums awhile....the soonest they will let you back after a bK is 5 yrs. Youre 4 yrs post....try for the Delta in June 2017, and see what happens

I checked with them every few years till it rolled past 30 and by that time I was a member of multi credit forums and realized I ddnt need them and that they no longer stand for what they were in the 1980s.
