Congrats to you, knew you would get in! What is your initial SL? In a month or two you can go for the ED and get a bigger limit if your scenario is anything like mine which it appears to be ... Build your relationship with American Express and they will treat you good! Score doesn't matter near as much when you are in with them and they can see how you take care of your card. I log in every few days and just pay off my balance in full each time as well. Probably doesn't matter, but wanted them to see I can pay whenever I need to .
IMO if it is a 1k SL, then after 31 days with payment history get the ED card as well as you will get a bigger SL and do a 3x on that if you seeking a bigger limit. In my case the Delta I did really early on the 3x like after 25 days and got denied, should of waited the 61 days.. So that made me mad and tried again after 35 or whatever days and got a letter stating since I didn't get it on 25 days I would have to wait 3 months, so that is what prompted me to app for the ED card... Never would of expected a 10k approval.. So in basicaly another 60 days I will do a 3x on that for 30k.. So 3x on 1k in 60 days to equal 3k or 3x10k to = 30k.. Pretty much a no brainer for me.. Obviousy you might have other needs/desires though

I remember reading there's sometimes a number you have to call to find your starting limit with AMEX. I tried the 800-567-1083 number and went under application status and they're closed today
The online app status and the online account access don't list anything under available credit...

Just do online chat via website with the rep and they will tell you.. Or try this # 1800 257 0770. might work that is what i have on the back of my Amex Delta.
There is an automated #, for app stats, but can't remember it off hand.. One of the above two should deffinetly work
Amex approved me for the everyday card with 661 EX a charge off 09' and two collections 10' 12' AAoA was around 5 years and Util 25% 0 INQ at time of app so that might be what helped most.
