So, I've posted before about wanting to get back with Amex. It was a personal goal of mine post BK 7
A few years back, I asked a family member to try adding me as an AU to see if I could backdoor my way in. No dice.
When Amex started doing softpull approvals, I would hit their site every 6 months or so and would always get the "previous bad relationship" decline
I called Amex at one point and inquired about paying them back the money I burned them for and the CSR was nice enough to give me all of the details I needed to do so but I haven't got around to it yet.
Then a few months ago, I got an offer for the Bread Amex from Comenity Bank. I applied and got approved for $8,500
It's not quite what I was hoping for as comebacks go but it's something.
On a whim this evening, I hit the preapproval for the first time in almost a year before bed and, much to my amazement, I was approved for $5k on the Blue Cash Card.
When I signed into the app, it has my original membership date of '99 even.
I am 7.5 years out from BK 7 with scores in the mid 700s and I'm legitimately wondering if the Bread Card got me back in their system enough to unblacklist me.
