From AMEX Blacklist to WOW!

[Anonymous]

Congrats on your success!  If you don't mind letting us know, how much did you burn them for in the charge off?  

I included them in BK7 back in 2009 for a little over $20k, and I'm still on the blacklist.

I was curious too. I burned them in 2012 for almost $17k. I'm thinking that I'm banned for life like Pete Rose is from baseball. 😑

Hey Guys, sorry for the delay. I burned them for $1800. Not much compared to others. It could be why I am back in the door. AMEX, from what I hear base their CL on what you have for other cards. I have an NFCU cash rewards card for 31k. This could have helped with the higher starting limit. Gotta love AMEX and Navy!!

Congrats! 

Yeah AmEx has seen the light, in some way or another. I have a C/O with them less than 3 yrs old. Only 21 mos. of perfect payment history built up since. *** AND AN OPEN AMEX OPTIMA CARD ***

The other week, I applied for, and was approved for, a AmEx Platinum (NPSL), Bonvoy Brilliant ($3000), and Amazon Business Prime ($3000). I never had to cancel my Optima. It's still open, with all $700 of its CL open! LOL

You stated you burned them, but you paid some of it back. How much did you pay them back? I burned them for 2,300 back in 2016. I'm waiting till my Bk 7 is 5 years old. I plan to pay the full amount.

I paid a little over $900. So around 50%. That was their offer.
