AMEX BCE..Dare I??.........APPROVED

I've come a long way in a pretty short time. With the backdating to 1993 on both current Amex cards my AoAA made a huge jump, and my scores right now look good. Amex just gave me a 3x CLI on my Delta Gold, and my util is at 0% right now on everything. Should I try for the BCE now or go home after work this morning and put a "NO DRAPPING" sign on my computer and leave it alone? It's a SP unless I get approved, right? If I do this bow it's off to the garden for a bit and consider what I want to do.

Re: AMEX BCE..Dare I??

I haven't decided what I want to do about the Cap1 yet. With both of my current Amex cards reporting 1993 I really don't need it for history. If I got a decent limit on it I might keep it. That's tactic is worth considering as well. But the BCE would be backdated to 1993 as well wouldn't it, since that is my "Member since" date now.

Wait until January.


it's good advice but since he has 19 years backdating already the gains aren't going to make that much of a difference =)
