Amex Pending Status... UPDATE: APPROVED!

Piggeh · ‎06-16-2014

So I pulled the trigger and decided to try to get in AMEX just now since the SPG card is the card I wanted from them and the promotion is being offered this month. I immediately got the pending status and now I'm just trying to be patient to give it a few hours before I want to call and ask. *starts pacing*

Pulled Experian FICO yesterday to see what my score was: 764 and my utilization is currently at 11% (all on one card) on the report.
