When i first got back my Amex after 10 plus years on bk , i was approved for a Green charge card and the Everyday card. My ED started at $1k. I used it for a car repair at Pep Boys to tune of $800. 2 weeks after approval, i took a chance, requested a 3x and recieved it. With Amex , ymmv.

Congrats on the approval. Follow the AMEX x 3 CLI guide that was mentioned or search the forums for it. It has good results. @NimbusIII is spot on with that advise, I second it. Cheers!

Super excited! Been repairing my credit for several months now. Hurt my credit pretty bad the last few years but worked on paying things off and got a big raise at work and am doing much better now. I only got a $1k limit. Hoping I can get that up soon though.

I started a business this year also, I'd like to apply for the American Express business amazon card but not sure if I should wait awhile before trying or not.
Congratulations, once you have your card and have established a reported cycle send your data points and we can work on the business card through the amex app with your existing profile and avoid an additional credit pull (This also works for personal cards). Also in 61 days you can turn your 1k into 3k then in 181 day into 9k. Keep your balance low and PIF when you can. Remember, It's not sprint it's a marathon!

Thank you! What do you mean "send data points"? So the business amazon card should be applied using the american express app, not the amazon website?
