DW's AMEX Gold in process since august 24th... Approved @ a 630 EX FICO

Apparently it takes AMEX a while to process an app? I think it said 7 days??  Can't recall now.

 

This was a prequal for her with a borderline 630 EX08 score or something.  I log in the check every couple days but just says in process, "check back in 24 hours".  I had thought this had about a 25% chance of approval but since she had one INQ in EX figured WTH.   They must be pouring over those (2) 6 YO CO's and (3) 5 YO CA's. Smiley Happy  She does have perfect history over the last 4 years and 1% UTL...  will report back when we hear.

Have you called in to ask? At this point I definitely would.

Nope.  Does that just speed up the denial?  Smiley Happy

You might be spinning your wheels waiting on something via USPS that is a couple of quick questions that need to be answered.  7 days into it is unusual for an app.  Now if they requested a 4506-T for income verification then 7 days isn't unreasonable to process and get results back.

OP, typically the automatic online response is 7-14 days for processing of any pending application. Some are generally turned around quicker than others. Earlier in the year, one of mine really took almost the full 14 days, IIRC.

If she's curious to learn of the status, she can call the new accounts line so she can be routed to someone who could further assist. Sometimes it could be due to verification, other times it's a standard review process timeframe.

Myself, yes of course.  I will see if I can prompt her into giving them a call.

Definitely curious to hear back about what happened with your AMEX app. It took me nearly a month to get approved for a card with another bank.

Re: DW's AMEX Gold in process since august 24th

She talked to a very nice rep today who verified her identity and was apparently gleeful in telling her she was approved for a "$6K something or another with a total of $20k".  Very cool, we are halfway in with AMEX.  So what do those figures represent?

 

So to recap.  She got in witha 630 EX FICO 08 and several nearly 6 year old derogs and at the time 14% UTI.

 

I will likely become an AU and we will see when I see a prequal.  The business side will be where we can put big spend on an AMEX when we get that far.
