Amex Gold Delta Approval!

I was doing research and debating on the Chase Southwest card and just wasn't feeling good about getting approved. 

 

I fly Delta more than Southwest anyway, and am planning to fly it a few times this year, so checked out my Amex prequals, and lo and behold the 50k miles bonus offer was there for me. I did lots of research, and did lots of back and forth, and decided to just try it. The waiting screen was pretty nerve wracking but it came through with a "congratulations!". 

 

I created my Amex account and my SL is $5k! For reference, my scores are around 670, my TLs are:

1) Quicksilver (3 years, $6k)

2) CO Auto Loan (1.9 years, $2.5k balance)

2) BOA Cash Rewards (9 mo., $1k)

3) US Bank Cash+ Sig (3 mo., $500)

 

 

My last late CC (or any TL) payment was 02/2017, and I have 2 COs from a few years ago (yikes). So needless to say I was surprised but seems that Amex is lowering standards lately!

Congrats! Decent SL. You weren’t given the dreaded 1k. Remember 3x CLI in 61 days. GL!

Haha thank you! US Bank and BOA were much more stingy with their SL so I was pleasantly surprised with Amex
