NEWBIE... Chances for getting AMEX Everyday.. Question on CL

 TU 770  EXP 721   EQ 734

 

Looking to take advantage of 0% APR for 15 months.  Have a Capital One card with 7k CL or therabout and only have 1700$ on it. I have a wedding coming up and expecting to put another couple k on the card and am wondering what my CL would be like? Can i expect to have at least or about the same as my current Cap One card?? I dont want to apply take a hit on credit pull only to find out I dont have any room after my transfer to make any purchases due to a low limit. I know no one can give an exact answer but looking for a decent guess or explanation on how this works. I appreciate it.

Usually AmEx doesn't give out limits under $1,000.

HOWEVER, they may be offering a ___months for 0% APR but AmEx still hates when people carry balances. So just be careful. If you need a card with 0% APR for a few months, I'd suggest Chase Slate or sometimes Chase Freedom offers a 0% APR period.

Welcome to MyFico.  It will all come down to your credit profile and your current limits.  Is CAP 1 your only credit card?  If not, what are your limits on the other cards?  Your credit limit on a new card if approved is determined by your credit limits on your cards.

Yes it's my only card.

Regarding first reply to my post, I was under impression that this card is marketed as one in which paid in full each month is not required. More like a beginners AMEX for lack of better words .

Amex typically likes thin files.  You will get approved for an Amex revolver with a decent starting limit of more than $1,000 and you will also get approved for a charge card if that is the route you prefer.

 

Whichever you decide, report back with results.

Then apply for the Amex card.  You should be fine.

It is online or via snal mail?  Amex offers are often solid.  Process is simple like any other application.  60 seconds process...
