My First Amex!

It feels amazing to finally get approved for an Amex, I got approved for the BCE on a prequalify check. No idea what the limit is as I had to call in to confirm identity due to fraud alert on my file. Now I can cancel my garbage starter card I have (First Access)!

 

Couldn't get approved for a pack of gum last year haha
