Happy to say that I was accepted for the AMEX Gold without any snags! This is my first AMEX Card!
They pulled EX with a 704 FICO. I'm 4/6,12,24 for new accounts and 5/6,12,24 for Hard Pulls.
Unfortunately the Sub of 60k MR for $8k of spend in 6 months is unrealistic for me to hit, so I'm just going to ignore it as a loss unfortunately.
I was just approved for the NFCU MoreRewards last week and figured I'd apply before it reports! Going to try to get the Platinum in 5 days if it allows me to do so with just a soft pull.
Congrats, I assume you're active duty?
I would hope so as if can't meet bonus for gold paying the AF on a platinum would be an awful idea.
With that said congrats on the approval OP but please don't get the platinum and pay that AF if you aren't in the military with you reported spend on the gold.
Yes, I'm active duty with quite a lot of time left in my contract so I'm not too worried about stacking up the future AFs, which with my MOS any private sector job should comfortably cover.
One of my Officers who's given me some guidance has several thousand in waived AFs with just AMEX as it seems you can get multiple Platinums, multiple Hilton Aspires, so really the credits and not the welcome bonuses are what are valuable for us. The AF waiving also applies to P2s (which I don't yet have) so they can have their own accounts.
Very nice, and thanks for your service. Reap all the rewards!
