AmEx Gold Approval + Delta Blue CLI (Now AmEx Platinum)

[Gatortrout]

I may try it again, my scores are 630s so I'll need to wait a few months maybe.

So you cancelled the Gold and went with the Platinum?

Applied for the Gold Card, read on here that you can apply for two AmEx cards on the same day. Instant approval for both. Just clicked the "chat with support" button and in 10 minutes they said they'd be happy with me just having the Platinum Card. I was surprised it was that easy.

I was expecting both, having to pay both fees, then cancel one. But they fixed that kindly and quickly.

Lol, oh-tay......

But seriously, you got a great card. The best of the two I do believe. Happy over here too for ya!

Enjoy it, I hear it's a real beaut and the presentation is stunning. 

Kinda jealous but hey, they're happy with me NOT having either.

Thanks! I think the Uber credits and my weakness for Saks Fifth Avenue easily makes up the annual fee for the Platinum vs the Gold.

Going to take a dent on my credit score for this, but I think it's worth it.

Why no AmEx for you?

I have Amex biz cards, au on dh's personals too....but no soup for me when I click apply. I'm probably at my max with them.  It's always the "Expanding" mess I get when checking offers.  I even asked the chat dude the other day if my one offer, bbp, with that "expanding" mess was just marketing. He referred me to the then closed for the evening UW(?) team.  No more 30 second decision making for me, just a lot of "expanding"  ...need nt. 

Enjoy!

Reading this makes me want to throw my hands up in the air and SAY,"  CONGRATULATIONS "  This is awesome keep up the good work, and I am very happy for you - I can't believe they actually did that all in a short amount of time. Hard work pays off. 

How do you like the AMEX PLAT card at this time? Does it fit all your current spending needs?
