Umm same here. Lol! I've been patiently waiting for my wait list invite and nothing.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, how old is the paid off collections on your Experian report?
Congrats!
I recently acquired this card via the resy offer also.
Is there any indication of the resy offer among the online and/or physical docs for you?
I recall having a SUB progress bar on a previous amex card but don't see anything for the Gold card on the amex website...
Thanks!

Yeah absolutely! I believe it was late April or early May next year...the thing about it is that I was at the 5 year mark with it (unpaid), then I realized paying it "renewed" its status on my credit report which I had questioned for a while? But now it seems I'm getting double pulled for these new cards and I seem OK!
Gotcha. I was asking because Experian does early exclusion and I didn't know how close you was to it dropping off your report. If you know what that is great!! I just like to make sure someone knows that way they can get it off asap and it shortens their road to a clean report. ☺️

Oh jeez! Now I feel like I kind of screwed up a bit!
Nah. Being unpaid hurts you worse than being paid. It may have added a little time but it has to come off eventually. Once you hit 3 months before it is to fall off call them and ask them to remove it.

I haven't gotten the physical card just yet, but I will let you know! Nothing as to indicate on AmEx.com, but I figure the offer did come through?
I called today and inquired about the card, amex confirmed the resy parameters (75k MR / 6mo spend) and so forth were all active for the account.
In regard to the earn progress meter I asked about, having seen that on another amex card offer, the answer was that the progress widget on the website is not used anymore.
I got spoiled by having the handy progress bar / days remain countdown stuff from before. Ah well. Perhaps it'll reappear sometime in the future. It was a nice touch.
Congrats on the Gold card approval !
It is a really useful card for every day spend, as you will find out. If you are coming back from a previous AMEX charge off, I'd be inclined to just treat this card carefully, give AMEX a chance to see your charge / payment ability, and let them get comfortable with letting you back in. I would not app any second AMEX card. You have the spend for the SUB to get through, and it's going to be earning you a lot of MR points to combine with the Platinum.
Enjoy the New Year success
