This was some time ago, but I was recently approved for a Schwab Amex Investor card. I had been an Amex cardholder for a little over six months, just carrying the basic blue Delta card. I applied mainly because of the sign-up bonus, which was $300 cash back for $1000 in spend over three months, which sounded like a great deal to me. The credit limit was $6K, which may not sound like much, but I am pretty low income at the moment, and this is actually my highest credit limit now by a significant margin.
It was easy to hit the $1K spending limit as I took a business trip soon after getting the card. The only quibble is that I thought the $300 would be deposited directly into my Schwab account, and it was instead added as a statement credit.
I probably won't end up using the card that much unless there is a good Amex offer on gas, which there has been recently.
Credit score: 707 Experian
Congrats! A very good-looking card 
I like the 1.5% back directly deposited into our investment account. (Still not matching the 2% back on the Fidelity card but I alternate the 2 if not using BCP and a few other cards.) Enjoy!
