AMEX, Amazon, and Apple Approvals Galore

Hey all.

 

I found these forums my second semester in college (2015) and have been using all the tips since then to build my credit. I have lots of cards and use very few. I think I just like the idea of collecting CLI's, lol.

 

Anyway, I app'd for three cards today and I think I am finished for another 2 years. Time to watch the numbers go up. 

 

The cards & SL's:

AMEX Delta SkyMiles Platinum (I have one other AMEX since 2019 SL was 1K. Got CLI a week ago for $2.5K total. I slacked on the CL requests because I rarely use it)-- $9K

 

Apple Card (read about it last night on the forums and figured wth)-- $3.5K

 

Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card (Been a Chase Checking account holder since 2015 and own 3 Chase credit cards with total CL's of $10K. Not sure if that helped for approval or not.)-- $5K

 

FICO-- 690

Thanks for all the tips! You guys are helping so many of us out here Heart

Thanks!

These forums are a godsend. I was also able to help my husband (who I met shortly after finding these forums lol) establish his credit. He was a cash user through and through. Now he has a collection of CapOne's (the first card company I encouraged him to get thanks to these forums), an AMEX card, and a new Discover with SL of $10K. We want to buy a house as first-time buyers in 3 years so we will be heading to the garden for now.
