OMG, Finally BCP Approved

Finally approved for the Amex Blue Cash Preferred! I've been applying since August of last year. I didn't want to have any HPs in 2013 but I'll take it. Backdating to 1993! I'm heading to the garden and will be here cheering others on in their journey! Thanks again for everyone's help and second chances

Awesome!

 

Jan approval too!  New TL dated 01/93!  The 6% supermarket is a great bonus.

Re: OMG, Finally BCP Approved

Just called in but they couldn't tell me the credit line. Anyone have that issue before?

Re: OMG, Finally BCP Approved

Thanks chnceit! Called in again. Looks like they approved me for 2K. It's a good start and Monday is 61 days for me on the Amex SPG. Hope to get that card bumped up to 3K.

Re: OMG, Finally BCP Approved

Sorry didnt read it correctly.

If you ask for a CLI on your SPG for 3K at 61 day mark then you cannot ask for another CLI until 6 months for all cards.
