I remember how amazing my first 10k+ approval was

Congratulations!!!

Amex is amazing, I started with the gold and they didn't approve me for a credit cards. Few months later and now I have two credit cards with them with limits 15k and 10k!

I would strongly recomend you not to apply for another credit card until Amex reports on you credit reports (It takes around two statements for them to report any card). The reason for this is that it will make it more likely for you to get approved for other credit cards with high limits.

Very much appreciate the tip MrCreditInternational! I was already planning on waiting till after AMEX reports - might be in the garden for a bit anyways, I've already seen some Auto CLIs with my previous cards/issuers (Barclays surprisingly just bumped up my CL by 2.1K out of nowhere even though I rarely use that except for a stray bill or two, so that's nice)

I'm still amazed at the double approvals people get.  Congrats!!

I was shocked myself! I was under the impression AMEX only allowed multiple apps if one was a charge card! Definitely wasn't complaining though - that's two lines that I can try for 3X CLIs on Day 61 and see what happens! I will enjoy having higher limits so I can utilize much lower and continue to PIF the vast majority of the time and stay responsible (and rack up points/miles!)

Nope, you have to pick which card you want to ask for a 3x CLI on.

I was blown away today when applying for the Gold Delta AMEX and the EveryDay AMEX yesterday to be approved for both with a CL of $10K for the Delta and $1K for the ED - I had to share my approval as I am excited - this is officially the highest CL I've had in my credit history!

I've spent the 18-20 months recovering from being robbed of most of my personal belongings alongside some other financial and life hardships. I feel like I've climbed out of those holes and worked hard to get to the point where I am now (Experian was 773 and TransUnion was 775 before I apped, they only pulled Experian). 

For me the CL is great but I am planning on paying in full on all of my accounts as I have been doing for a while. Going to use the new AMEX cards a ton until I hit the welcome offer requirements (60K Miles for 2K spend on Delta and I believe 20 or 25K MR for 1K spend on the ED). Now I'm 100% in the garden for the foreseeable future  

Thanks for reading my story.

Congrats on both cards!

There are a few of us who were lucky enough to get a 3x CLI before we even recieved our Amex cards. You could try to request a 3x CLI on the ED card. I was one of those who was approved for a $1k SL on the ED, and asked for $3k CLI and approved the following day.
