App Spree!

[WolfMan]

My prior post, I was wondering about going for the Amex again... I bit the bullet... Here are the results...

Amex Hilton Honors - Got the 14 day message... Figure it's a decline. 

Tried the chase freedom - Instant approval for 4K

Saw the US Bank Kroger 123 rewards, Figured I already had about 8-9 inq now, might as well try - 14 day message. 

Today I got the message from US Bank - Approved - Dont know the limit. 

Then I decided to check on the Amex again... Approved!!! FInally!!!

I gotta find out my limits, but even if small, I'm back in with AMEX!!

Off for a looooong stay in the garden now.  No More Apps!

It's awesome to think, just 2 meesley years ago, I couldn't even get approved for a car loan.

Ignore this, I didn't see you already found out you were approved from USBank.

Sure... 

2002 Had an amex I didn't know about with 1800 limit (Ex Wife nicely got it for me, if you know what I mean)

Divorced in 2006 - maxed card went into collections. I ended up paying in full and got an Oasis/Optima card. 

7 Years, never missed a payment, was my only card, 900 Limit. about 30% utilized.

Had that until this past January when I cancelled it because I couldn't apply for a real card. Got Declined for numerous reasons. 

Tried a couple other revolvers and a green card, all declined.  ( Fico in the 650 range then )

( They triple ageny hard pulled me twice for the green for some reason when I recon'd )

This month all my ficos were abover 700, (Last baddie dropped off) so tried again.

Thanks for sharing.  My history with Amex is a little more tarnished than yours.  Perhaps one day I will have the "extra"  funds to make good with them.  Until then I am happy with where I am.
