After getting approved with Discover IT last night I decided to check Amex no offers at all just cold app since I know I’m blacklisted as I burned them 5 years ago but all paid and settled. I tried the Green the easy one (I know it’s not the popular card) just to see and to my surprise I was Approved... WOW 2 days in a row with my low EX score. I tried a revolver after that but was declined due to of course my FICO low score. That’s fine since I just want to get back with Amex and will try a revolver in 2 months. Just excited, thanks for all the help guys.
Congrats on the approval, blaze! 
I'll be honest with you: I did not think American Express even approved those with scores in the 500s.
Looks like your re-build is going really well.

Super Congrats on your Amex Green approval! 
You should be very proud of yourself. Not only did you patch things up
with Amex, but they're giving you a second chance to make a really good
impression by approving you for the Green card. So care and feed it well,
and over time there will be lots more where that came from. Very well done!
BTW, Amex Green offers a Pay Over Time (POT) feature just like the PRG.
So don't worry about being declined for an Amex revolver. Take good care
of your Amex Green and the POT will provide you with the best of both worlds
combined in one card.
Congrats again on your Amex approval. Thanks so much for sharing!

2nd this... so good job to you and congrats!!!
Amazing approval. Unheard of to get an Amex in the 500's. I did same thing coming off blacklist, tried using green as the first play around. Lol i feel your shock as i was floored too. I believe though POT has to be offered in order to use it.

Congrats on the approval and getting back into the Amex Family!
Thanks all, the only current with my score is EX with 634. So on a back to back night it was pulled by Disco and Amex...both approved. My lucky 634.

Congratulations. At the 1 year mark look for AMEX to offer MR's to upgrade to the Gold.
Congrats on getting back in with Amex!
