So I Took A Chance And Poked The Bear To Get The Amex PRG Approved

Amex instantly approved my app for a PRG earlier today. I said in another post regarding the Everyday card approval that I would'nt poke the bear anytime soon but I did and got an approval.  So far no notification of an inquiry so I am hoping they are using the hard pull from a couple days ago.  So my bear poking days are now over.

Super Congrats on your Amex PRG instant approval!!! Smiley Very Happy

 

You poked the bear, but the bear didn't poke you. Very well done! Smiley Very Happy

 

Yes, Amex uses the same hard pull within 30 days

for their "2 for 1" which is exactly what you just did.

So now you have a shiny new charge card to match

your Everyday revolver. You should be very proud. Smiley Very Happy

 

Congrats once again on your success. Thanks for sharing! Smiley Very Happy

Well it seems the 2 for 1 didn't work for me. I saw the new inquiry on Experien a few minutes ago.  Since I poked Amex I now have about a 15 point drop in score. I knew the inquiries would impact but suprised that it was 15 points.  

 

Thanks for your post.  I am happy.
