Approved for my first Amex Card!

[Anonymous]

Went onto the Amex Pre-qualify site before bed time, and tried one extra time in incognito mode, and behold: Pre-approved for BCE with the standard $150 for $1000 dollar spend. Approved immediately for a CL of $1000! Great end of the day!

FICO8 Scores: Equifax - 715, Transunion - 720, Experian - 709

Current cards are BoA Cash Rewards (Secured) with $300 and a Cap1 Platinum with $300. The BoA card is the oldest, opened in September 2019. I'm an expat living in NC since that same month, so this whole thing with credit scores is an adventure for me. Nice to finally be started off for real, got my first FICO scores about a week ago. Onwards to new challenges, and trying to decide what do choose for credit card #4!

Thanks for a great forum, it's extremely educational!

BoA Secured card - if you haven't done so, call up csr and ask for early graduation. If denied, try the following month until unsecured. Good luck on your credit journey!
