Thank you everyone!
UPDATE: thought I'd give a little clearer picture of my credit profile. The Sam's Club account was reported immediately so some stuff is a little skewed
AAOA: 1.3 years (was 1.5 at the time of application)
Oldest account: 4.7 years
Util: 7% (was 21% at time of application, the Slate had reported a balance before I applied, didn't realise until afterwards)
Exp INQ: 10(was 8)
TU INQ: 7 (was 4)
EQ INQ: 5 (was 3)
Total TL limit: $2300(was $1000)
Approx Income: $40k
Scores post app spree but with only the new Sam's card reporting
Exp: 706
TU: 742
EQ: 723
Once other stuff reports my Util will drop to 1% but my AAOA will tank.
AmEx app is still pending! I don't know if my phone auto generated an old phone number or what but my application had an old phone number tied to it. I honestly don't remember entering a phone number on the application. I called AmEx new accounts 3 times and they all told me to just wait for a phone call, even though I told them they have the wrong phone number. Apparently my application is under fraud review and THEY have to call ME? I tried tweeting at them, and was told to call New Accounts Hotline. I tweeted back what they told me, and AmEx replied if they can't reach me by phone they'll snail mail identity verification to me.
