I was getting so annoyed with Delta sending me offers for the target 50,000 Skymiles sign-up bonus under the Gold Delta SkyMiles, I went for it. Approved instantly. I was too excited to even see what the limit was though I bet it's quite decent heh! Checked the CL online, it's $2k. Still within range of gardening and the mininum spend deal (as long as I pay the majority before the statement date for 3B reporting).
Update 08.08.2016: Received the card today. I actually have $2'000 of cash advance, my credit limit is $10'000!
AAoA: 6 months
I have three cards in my wallet right now:
A (now) un-secured bank credit card - 650$ - 12 months @ 1% util
Citi Double Cash - 2000$ - 2 month @ 1% util
AMEX Prefered Gold Rewards - NPSL - 3 months
Experian: 716 - Transunion: 722 - Equifax: 710
No BKs or late payments. The thought is to stack up on inquiries and new credit now for long-term AAoA stability, payment history, etc. Aaand for my next trick I shall apply for a CSP and other Chase cards

Congrats on your Amex approval, you will receive an email from Amex confirming your approval. On that email, you will have a link to set up your account online. You will be able to see the SL on this card.
You can also go into a chat with a rep on the website and they will automatically add any additional cards you are approved for. I did this when I was approved for my BCE and then BCP minutes after approval. It automatically added the account to my profile. They even automatically added the card I was an AU on. Just another way to get things rolling.
I applied for my two cards on the same day. They will put a hold for 5 days on the second application for fraud purposes. I applied for both of my first two cards on the same day and they put the other on hold and approved it 5 days later.
