I just wanted to share my joy with my fellow MyFico community members! I been trying to get this card for 6 months now. I applied twice and was denied both times. After waiting 3 months from my last application attempt.... I decided to pull the trigger and to my surprise...I was approved! I'm a little bummed at the 1k CL but I'll take it! I heard after 60 days they can increase your credit line, so I might give that a shot in the near future. I been wanting to be part of the American Express family since I began working on my credit, which was about 2 years ago. I think I'm offically done with credit applications, since I've racked up quite the number of inquiries and now I will begin to garden the $hit out of my credit. *puts on gardening gloves*

Congrats! I know the feeling. I got approved in May for my BCE. My starting limit was 2k and it is now a 18k card. You don't have to wait the 60 days to get the increase. You can try at activation. I got denied the CLI at activation. I tried again 90 days later and it went to 6k. 180+ days later I tried again and it went to 18k.
Congratulations and welcome to the Amex family

Thanks a lot! I will definitely try around activation time.
