I'm going to pass out -- approved for Delta Skymiles AMEX!!

It's only a 1000 CL, but it was one of my goals to get an airline card.  I'm literally in shock!  I've never had an AMEX card before. 

Just for kicks, I went to the AMEX website to see what pre-appovals I can get and that one popped up.  I didn't believe it, so I applied...and got it.  I'm stoked!

Congrats. Yes, let us know your data points. CS, income and recent activity. It will help a lot!

Income 58K

TU: 636

EX: 627

EQ -- last I looked it was hovering around 610

My utilization is high -- 68%. 

38K in student loans -- when I consolidated the loans it knocked my AAoA to 2 years.

I have a few dumb cards like First Premier that I want to get rid of.  Hopefully I'm on the way to getting rid of them!

Welcome to Amex. Use it. Pay it. Repeat. It will grow very well, if you treat it well, and bring your scores up a little.
