AMEX Green approved with BK

[bratly35]

Took a chance and applied for and AMEX green card and to my surprise got an instant approval with 7.5 year BK on my report. I applied for the green guessing it would be the easiest to get approved for. In the future I would like to get an AMEX revolving card. Any advice on how I should use the card and when would be a good waiting period to apply and increase my chance for approval on a revolving card?

Congrats!

I've been turned down a couple times with an 8 yr old BK. I have very good limits (a couple 10K plus) but mostly pretty new accounts. Is your average age pretty good?

Oh my is this a ray of hope for us bk'ers.  I apped Dec 31st and it was a no go.  Stated denied strictly due to bk (mine is 6 years old).  

My bk is set to fall off Feb/Mar of 2014, but this makes me want to so tempt it again....okay breathe, breathe and just hold on
