Amex.... I finally pulled the trigger!!!

I often come to these boards to read the various topics that peope bring.  Many times I've used the advice others have given to help me make improvements to my scores and habits.

 

After getting my scores from myFico today, I finally decided to app for the Amex BCE card.  I wanted a cash back card, and the rep that I chatted with took some number from me, and suggested this card.  I was a bit nervous to app for a new card..... I've not been having be best time trying to get increases with capital one recently.

 

But I pulled the trigger and bit the bullet hard... hoping it would go my way....  ( I've been waiting to join the Amex family for a while now, never had the courage to app )

 

and  BAM!!!  They said yes and approved me with a $13,000 SL !!!!  My highest ever!!  Smiley Very Happy

 

I'm just so stoked right now!

 

Just wanted to say thanks to all those that have contributed to the forums, you have helped make this possible for me!

Thanks All...  I'm still in a bit of shock over the SL....  but I'll take it.  It will allow me to close out some unused cards, and still improve my util %!
