Had my sights on this (and the Citi AA card) since I started building my credit 2 years ago. I was super nervous about my paper thin file but it was all for naught: Instant online approval for $4,000.
Here are some DP's:
Amazon Store Card: 0/3500 2y1mo
Samsung Finance: 206/3200 1yr8mo
One closed and paid off early Affirm loan.
AAoA: 1yr9mo
3% Utilization
Scores in signatures are from this morning (Fico8's) right before I submitted the app (EQ hasn't updated Amazon zero balance yet).
Also: Authorized User on a Capitol One Platinum: 458/18,000 25yr/7mo (no idea if this helped with the auto algorithms).
They pulled TU as expected. Had zero INQ on TU.
No derogs/perfect history

The plan is still to give this card a good workout for 6mo and then apply this summer for the Citi AA Card just before a big vacation at the beginning of the fall. Thanks to all the contributors to the forums. Your help, without a doubt, helped me to nab my first prime card AND the card I wanted to get first.
Congrats on the approval and a good CL.
I recently acquired this card too, the 50k miles was too good to pass up.
I already have the Citi AA Exec card going to push for some major points this year.

I read your previous thread - Are you going to app for the Citi AA personal or business? How long do you plan on waiting before applying for the Citi card? Asking for a friend
