AMEX Delta SkyMiles Approval $5K

Hi everyone.

 

I've been reading this site for years.

 

I've always wanted an AMEX card and shockingly I was approved for not one, but two within 7 days.

 

I received an email for a Delta SkyMiles card and had just been denied for the CitiAdvantage card the same night.

 

I decided to apply, because why not, and surprisingly was approved for a $5,000 credit limit.

 

At the time, I didn't know I could apply for the charge card at the same time too. I didn't discover this until a week later and applied for the Platinum card and was approved.

 

My focus now is getting CLI's on all of my cards.

 

Your posts and knowledge are very helpful.  I've been reading on the site for the past 7 years and never commented but have been studying you alls experiences.

 

Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences.  They are more helpful than you know.

Thank you.

 

Does the CLI request work? What did you start at on yours?
