AAoA is about 2.5 yrs, Util is high, about 60% due to some recent charges, had 9 inquiries on EX and 5 on the others, and i cold-apped because everyone says charge cards are easier to get than credit cards.

Hmmmm. I think I'm just going to pull the trigger. My AAoA is only 6 months however my Util will be under 10% and I have the same inquiries on EX, 9. What do you think my chances are? Again congrats on the new card!!

I think everyones chances are different, but like i said, charge cards seem to be easier to get than credit cards. And thanks Smiley Happy Also, I'm not sure if it matters, but I've had an amex credit card for about a year already.
