2 Amex instant approvals in 1 day!

I am so excited, I can't sit still! I applied for premier rewards gold and blue amex and go both. The gold is being express delivered (wow) and the other will arrive in 5 days. I couldn't five days so I called for a CL......drum roll.....$15,000 smackaroos! This is twice as high as my highest card! Thanks amex for giving me a chance! This is definitely worth 2 inquiries! Smiley Very Happy

Congratulations!  You're making it awfully hard for me to stay in my garden Smiley Mad

Congrats!  If they're being that generous with their CLs, I can't wait to see what mine will be on my Blue Cash!

I'm on my way to the garden. Let's have tea, and I will get your mind off the cards...

What's the benefit of the Gold over the Blue?

Re: 2 Amex instant approvals in 1 day!

It seems like they are being quite generous with CLs if you have an excellent score. I just got a Blue Cash Preferred with a $19,300 CL with a 764 EX. Just remember if you are gardening that if you cave and apply now, yeah you might get approved with an alright limit, but if you garden for a while longer and get your score where you want it you will start with a great limit. Stick to your guns (or shovels or whatever you use in a garden) and you'll get what you seek when the time is right.

IMO, nothing special, traveling benefits, and you earn membership points instead of getting cash-back. Plus, the Gold doesn't have a pre-set limit, so technically, you can spend as much as you want with the Gold (but you have to pay in full at the end of the month)
