Approved for AMEX BCP!

This my first post on here after lots of lurking. These forums have been invaluable to me while I researched which credit card would best serve me so I wanted to tell you all about it! Thank you for all your helpful advice. So excited to be a part of the AMEX family!

Re: Approved for AMEX BCP!

Hopefully this will be helpful!

 

I applied online and was given a 'We've received your application but cannot give you a decision at this time' message so as per the advice of these forums, I called them just to make sure that it wasn't something stupid holding up my application. This proved to be a great idea as sometimes my address reports with "Unit" and sometimes with "Apt" so I confirmed over the phone. They're so nice! He then told me my application was approved.

 

It's only a $2000 limit but I'm fine with that because my income is pretty low. I was thrilled when I pre-qualified for this card and am even more glad to get my foot in the door with AMEX and cycle through the limit if need be. 

 

Experian Score- 790 (they pulled Experian)

Income- $32k

Other Cards:

Capital One Quicksilver (opened June 2007)- $1400 don't you just love Capital One and their bucketing Smiley Very Happy

Capital One Quicksilver (opened December 2014) $2600

Discover It Cash Back (opened February 2021) $2500
