What was your SL?

1k and they wouldn't give me an increase until my 2 collections fell off and I got most of the lates cleared up. Still had a few lates though when they finally gave me a CLI. OP only needs $1200 for his BT, so I think he has a chance at a better SL than I had now that his reports are getting better.

Agreed, hoping when he gets a score update that his Ex jumped too. I apped for the BCE with a EX of 640 last month since i saw so many getting in with lower scores. Was denied but the only reason on the denial was credit score. Had a satisfied judgement disappear from my Ex & my score jumped 91 pts. Still waiting for it to reappear Where's the confused smilely?
From what I have read Amex is not as inquiry sensitive
OMG I had a Tempurpedic...I so miss it...I toss & turn now but not ready to buy another until I am fully settled, not sure if I will be relocating in the next year

My EX inq's are up there. About 15 maybe with the two lender HPs. Last HPs before that was back in October. Isn't that a lot for an Amex app?
Also, before I pull credit today, my last PIF account reports on the 5th. Do you think Cap 1 would've reported to all 3 bureaus by now? I'm itching to buy the Ultimate 3B from myFICO right now. I want to make sure the account reported to All bureaus before spending $60.
Amex isn't INQ sensitive like some other lenders are, and most lenders are really only concerned about how many INQs in the past 6 months. As for Cap1, my statement also cuts on the 5th and I got an alert yesterday on EX about that account, and I got alerts on TU and EQ about it today. So if your statement cut on the 5th, then I'm pretty sure they've reported to the bureaus by now.

Sorry to hear about the denial. 91 points is an awesome score jump - how long do you have to wait to app for Amex again?
