Re: AMEX is here!

Well I'd ask for a CLI anyway ~ chances are they'll throw you something even if they don't bump you to 3X. Smiley Happy

Thanks everyone. My CL is $10K (I'm still in shock a week after hearing it over the phone) and my APR is 22.24. Since I have a year of 0%, so I'm just going to enjoy that and call within the next year to have it lowered. 


Yep, after a year it should be a lot lower, my mum card got lowered after just two mounts.

Re: AMEX is here!

I honestly don't even feel like my income justifies a $10K CL. I may ask for one but honestly I'm perfectly happy with $10K. Plus I may app for a card with airline rewards in the next year or so.

What makes them want to give you a CLI anyway? I tried with Citi recently and they denied me.

Re: AMEX is here!

That's super low! I'd be happy with the 17% at this point. OK, I'm lying. I'd be ecstatic to get 10%...hahaha.

I'll have to admit that I have few ideas as to how AMEX decides to give out CLI, or even approvals for that matter...Smiley Wink

 

But AMEX does seem to be generous with CLIs, at least here at MyFICO a lot of people have reported CLI success at day 61, even if they didn't get 3X they still recieved something.

A week after applying, my AMEX is here! I'm kind of disappointed with my APR, however. But happy that my AMEX arrived just in time to get some gas and groceries. Smiley Happy



Super Congrats! I cant wait to join you next year!
