So today I was able to add another great card to my lineup. I decided to apply for the Amex Platinum charge card due to the great perks and travel benefits. It stinks that I missed out on the 100k MR offer but since I have some trips coming up soon I decided to settle for the standard bonus of 40k MR after you spend $3k in three months.
I did not receive an automatic approval. I received a message stating that my application is under review and I would hear from them in 14 days. Since it was not an automatic denial I figured the odds were in my favor. I called 866.314.0237 and the representative said that they would need to verify it was in fact me that submitted the application. I confirmed that I did apply and then the CSR was able to finish processing my application.
So the card will be sent via 2-day air and I can't wait to get it!! So now I am back in the garden.
Thanks again to everyone here on MyFico who has provided so much advice and insight. If it wasn't for this forum, I would still just have to two credit cards - a secured $800 CL Cap1 and a Platinum BoA Visa with a CL of $400.
I now have $65k of credit and I am looking forward to gardening and growing the limits on the cards that I currently have.
Congratulations!...Thanks For Sharing.
