AMEX Green card approved. Strange times indeed.

Oh another point to add.... when I applied, I forgot that I had my experian locked which is one reason it may have gone to verification mode.

They pulled TU and never asked me to unlock experian.

When I was setting up my online account just now, it appeared that my internal limit though not announced at this time is about $1000.

We shall see if this increases with time.

You mean your POT limit?

Yeah and the best part about charge cards is the balance doesn't negatively effect your credit utilization. I can easy rack up $1,500 to $2k on my Amex Gold card a month and not worry about it reporting a high balance. I set up the auto pay and let it do its thing. 

On a regular credit card I would pay a high balance off before the statement cut so my credit score won't drop.

The spending power limit that it allows you to check. It appeared to be $1000. I put in a mock purchase of $1000 it accepted but anything above it, it said wasn't enough.

Seems to be a starter limit, much like a revolving card.

Be super careful using that tool. They can see that and it can cause the dreaded Financial Review if they think you are too risky.

Good to know. I only did it a few times.

 It has my member since 2000  on my account.

Will this show on my credit report as 2000 or 2020??
