First Amex Card

So I heard about the $500 sign up for the BCE today, and decided to try my luck but turned out that offer is not available for me. However, I could still get $250 for $1000 spend. Not too bad for a no AF card. I pulled the trigger and got approved for a $4000 CL. I am pretty happy about that, considering I had a pretty stinky (literally) day at work.

What's your income if you don't mind me asking? Sorry just gathering data points because I want a BCE myself in the near future.
