finally in with amex

Finally after a year and half got approved for the blue everyday.  Only a small $1500 limit but my foot is in door.  I'm excited.

Yep, it hurts. I also have a state tax lien. It's only one, but it's huge. It was in all three of my reports, but recently disappeared from TU. Huge jump in that score, while EX and EQ still suck.
