Congrats on all of the BCP CCs!

What kind of scores do you guys have who are getting approved do for this cc?

Re CCCs selling to you, I had that in a big way from Cap One! It was very irritating. They were definitely high-pressured and would not take no for an answer!

Ex 736, flawless credit report other than 2 years of total history.

I'm hoping after my one collection drops off in Jan/Feb, my scores will go into the 700s. But I may need to wait longer to app w/amex since I have a short cr history. It looks like 730+ is necessary for Amex.

Not quite, I was just recently approved for Amex Delta Gold Skymiles whatever its called.  I have a 705 EX FICO with a 4 month old 30 day late.  All other history is good though.


Starting Score: EQ-484(10/10/2011) TU-533(10/10/2011)
Current Score: EQ-701(1/18/2013) TU-735(1/20/2013)
Goal Score: 750s!!

Re: Amex BCP CLI $5k ---> $15k!

I'm still waiting on mine to come in the mail as well.  I got $2k which matching my highest reporting limit.  I'm hoping they will show me some love and Amex will get me out of low CL territory and others will follow the lead.  I intend to make it my daily card.  I was at 734 with two five year old unpaid collections when approved.  I believe if it wasn't for my address recently changing it would have been instant, as soon as they verified that it was approved.

Question:  Who decided 3x your CL is the max you can ask/get?  Does Amex state that somewhere or have they told people that?  Or have people just not been approved for anything over 3x?  A curious mind wants to know!  Anyone want to be a guinea pig - ask for 4x the limit or even 3.1x? Smiley Very Happy

 

 


The Amex system informs you when you submit your request that it can accept requests of 3x your current limit up to $25K.  Other requests are possible, but can only be done through a representative -- thus no online luv botton or automated telephone response.

From what I found out, Amex Delta Gold is probably the easiest card to get. Minimum EX fico 680+.....I was approved for the Amex SPG with an EX Plus score of 720 - clean report and 5+yrs of AAoA. When my score jumped to 747 EX Plus, I apped for the BCP and was approved instantly with a generous CL...about 5 months after activation of my 1st Amex. In the end...you really don't know til you try IMHO and YMMV.

 

My SPG is due for a CLI this coming Feb and I am looking forward to it Smiley Happy

BCP is due for a CLI in 61 days too! Smiley Happy

Re: Amex BCP CLI $5k ---> $15k!

Ok, ok, ok, I just got my Zync in Oct.  So, if I wait six months, (APR) I can apped for the Delta card and get approve?  Cool, but I don't fly DeltaSmiley Tongue (Southwest!!!) so, would the Gold Reserve be the card for me to app?  Or BCP? or Costco True Earning.....ok, I will stop for now...


5/30/15 EQ 596; TU 605; EX 580.
12/18/17 EQ 646; TU 660; EX 674.
7/30/23 EQ 708; TU 703; EX 721.
