No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Let me begin by saying I'm appreciative of the support I've received in these forums, as well as the advice given out. I never thought I would be "Amex material" but here I am. Without this forum I wouldn't have known about the 2 for 1 HP on a charge card and a revolver.
I debated for a week whether I should wait for the possiblity of a 50K PRG bonus, and decided against it - I have a large purchase coming up and wanted to use it to meet the spend bonus.
Applied for the PRG first - Instant approval. I knew as soon as it asked me if I wanted to add additional cards to the account. Already checked the spending limit, and was approved for $5,000
Applied for the ED after - also an instant approval. Unfortunately the SL is only $500. I've got cards that beat this by 12x. A little bummed because I know that $500-$2000 limits tend to stay there for a bit, so I don't expect a 3X CLI anytime soon.
I'm glad to get my foot in the door with Amex, especially after Citi declined me for the Costco Visa last week - even with a solid prequal. I needed to get in with a bank that does steady SP CLI's, and Amex is my golden goose. I will work that little Everyday card so hard, they'll be begging me for a CLI!
DP's: 4 EX inqs (pretty sure they pulled EX). EX FICO 08 is 724 as of this morning. Took a small hit after Citi inq last week.
Congrats! Welcome to the Amex family.
