I have seen so many getting approved from amex and i do have a amex card from penfed but i really want to get a amex cash back 6% supermarket .

Question is my UTl is 29% i own 23k in 2 credit card im going tonpay 15k on june should i wait until june so my Utl is lower plus 5 hp will be delted by that time .
I have 14 HP

I want a BT card but i know i will be denied from chase slate

Limit 80k in credit card
4 car loans 2 pay all ready never late ever

IMO I would definitely wait till June  

You should get a score boost when the util comes down and the better the score the better the chance of approval and a decent starting line

Thank you i really would love a good SL special in a BT card so i dont have to pay interest

Waiting until your utilization comes down can only help your chances so why not wait, June is not that far off anyway. Amex is not inquiry sensitive so that shouldn't be an issue but utilization is always looked at even though yours is not terrible, it's always better to get it down. On a side note have you checked Amex's site for prequals?

agree with the above. Get that util reporting to 1-9% for best results. Amex doesnt like a lot of debt reporting, and that may be too high for them. Just wait...

This is my issue exactly. I have only 1 card that I am paying down and I was scheduled to be done in June, but I just found out my in-laws are organizing an impromtu family trip to Disney in July so I won't be at my preferred utilization until August now. I have 3 HP falling off in June so I was so ready. Can't wait to get my BCP in August! As a mom/wife the supermarket gets a lot of my business.

I think you'll be approved for the BCP.

Agree with above. Wait! It increases your chances, plus gives you an opportunity at a better limit!
