BCP should be here in the next couple of days. I went online and set up everything I could before the card arrives. I signed up for paperless statements, alerts, etc. and got an email confirmation today. When I opened the email, I saw it said "Optima" as the account. I applied for a BCP and was instantly approved. Do you think this is just a general email? Also, will AMEX allow multiple payments per month? It's a bit obsessive but I like to PIF no longer than every 2 weeks. Discover and CapOne lets me pay as many times as I want. Hoping for same on the AMEX.
Here's what was in the body of the email. Did they approve me for a BCP but are sending me an Optima?

When you logged in to your online account does it show your BCP? Mine shows up there.
It does show BCP when I log in so I guess it's just a general email or they sent me the wrong one. I have never heard of an Optima before. I saw an Optima Oasis program and I was like Oh Lord, what did I do to AMEX in the past?!? LOL I'm sure it's just a fluke.
I'm expecting the card tomorrow or no later than Friday. If they are still shipped from Omaha, I'm about three states away. I have a grocery trip and a 17 gallon gas tank waiting to break it in.
EDIT: spelling

Thanks for your response. I'm happy to hear i can pay multiple times per month.

Very good info. I guess I'll play it safe and just pay once the first month. I'd hate to make a partial payment mid month then not be able to pay again until the following month and carry a balance. And thanks for your kind words on the approval, too!
