So, there I was, sitting in the garden, minding my own business, until may or June 2023 watching the plants grow slowly and along came an Amex bread 2%cb promo informing me I'm prequalified...
Yes, I took the red pill to see how deep the rabbit hole goes and accepted it, against my better blue pill judgement.
Instant approval for $5000
Hp Exp - 734
Crazy surprised with 6 new accounts in 6 months already.
However, they never sent any emails confirming i was approved. Just a text saying I can add a digital version within 24 hours to Apple wallet, but I dont use apple products so can't confirm that way. The text did repeat the $5k limit, but since I never got an email confirmation, I have to ask myself if this was a trick and it's going to fall through or if it's a treat and I'll have my new card in the 10 to 14 days outlined after instant approval I can not reaccess.
Has anyone else only received a text but no email confirmation on the bread 2% like that and the approval was genuine?
I didn't used to be paranoid but Truist did that to me last year where they approved me via text and phone. Never sent an email and it fell through as a trick and not treat.
So, I guess I'll just hold off on adding the bread card to my sig until I get better confirmation. :/
Congrats on your Bread Cashback AMEX approval
Amex often sends out approval emails well after you were actually approved. As long as you saw a confirmation, it's a treat and not a trick. Congrats on the approval! (Also depending on your email provider, you may want to take a look to make sure they didn't flag it as spam or something.)
