Congratulations on getting your first Amex card! I'm sure you'll enjoy it and your relationship with Amex. They're very helpful and friendly and really GET how to do customer service the right way!

I do have a question, though. You've been trying for over 16 years, right? And your score is 655? That seems awfully low! We have members who've filed bankruptcy less than 10 years ago and have scores in the mid 700s. I'm wondering what factors are keeping your score so low? You're certainly not compelled to share your data points if you're not comfortable doing so, but if you did, we might be able to offer suggestions on getting that score up where it should be!

Congrats on finally getting in !   What was the derogatory item / negative factor that they'd previously cited in your denials?

Congrats!  I am in the same boat...Just got an AmEx Blue Cash Preferred card.
