AMEX Double Approval

cpascal · ‎05-23-2021

I've been lurking the myfico forums for some time and I'm glad my first post is in the approval thread.

Just got approved for both the Amex Blue Cash Preferred and Green. I'm about to hit two years with my first card, Discover It (was originally a secured credit card) and was already planning applying for these at a much later date.

I got $2000 CL for the BCP but I only make $45,000 a year so that's enough for me for now. Got the 60,000 points pre-qualified offer for the Green and that's what ultimately convinced me to apply. Decided to test my luck and apply for the BCP after and got approved for that too.

Didn't think I was get approved for either, but I guess luck was on my side today! 🍀
