Feeling like pulling the trigger...

Okay, just went for it and here are my results:

Chase Freedom - Approved; 2.5k

Amex PRG - Approved; NPSL

Will be apping for BCP & Barclays Arrival either early next month OR I will wait 3 months (Feb)

Overall, very please and happy (obviously) and I'm excited to receive the cards!! The PRG was automatically expedited to me, while I called chase and had to expedite that card as well. I'm just really nervous/hoping I am able to get the BCP and Barclays Arrival and then it's off to the garden for me!

You could have done the BCP today and get away with a SP.   If you do it after today the AMEX system will need to HP. 

I did it three days ago... and got both BCP and PRG approved.. .one HP.

Really? They would only do 1 HP if did both in the same day? The reason I'd rather spread it out is because I want to make sure I meet all the spending requirements for the sign up bonuses

Congratulations. Welcome to the Amex Family

I like the way you think.  I don't get why some people want a bunch of low limit cards when they can focus on getting 2-3 big ones first.   After the first $5000 things should move faster.  

Yes..only one HP for AMEX on  same day app.  It's a freebie in terms of inquiries but you brought up a good point about meeting new account requirements.

I think I'd rather just take another inq, since I don't have too many right now. As much as I'd like to app now, I think I have to wait in order to fullfill the sign up bonuses. Also, I would like a better sign up bonus for the BCP, my dad received an offer from them spend 1k in 3 months get 250$ back

Thank you all! Feels pretty good to be a part of the amex family now!
