Amex BCE Approved with Stats

Anonymous · ‎02-12-2017

Hey everyone,

MY CRAZY YEAR CONTINUES!! I thought I was in the garden for good after my Cash+ approval 5 months ago. But, I got a mailer for $150 cash back after spending $500 in the first 3 months + 10% off amazon for 6 months (up to $2000). I've been holding off on Amex for quite some time. I knew they were suffering after they lost the Costco to Citi. Hope I didn't pull the trigger too soon. I've heard alot of great things about their customer service. My experience with them so far has been spectacular even though I know it's scripted. Called in to get my card expedited and they were telling me things like, "Welcome to Amex family, your approval with us today says alot about how you've been handling your credit, ect."

Stats:
Instant Approval ($1000)
Experian: 785 (Discover Scorecard)
Inquires: 9 (Experian)
AAoA: 1 Year 10 months (Skewed because I added myself as an AU on my mom's sockdrawered Citi card with 9+ year history)
Every card you see in my sig was approved within the past 12 months except for Discover.
Util: 17%

Cheers!

Wow, that's a great offer! The 10% Amazon alone would have been worth it for me. Congrats!!
