BofA Accelerated Amex Application Question

Hello all,

I just submitted an application online for the Accelerated Rewards Amex card and it came back with a screen telling me to call in for an instant decision.  The credit department is already closed so I will have to call tomorrow morning but does anyone know what that is all about?  Are they going to ask identity questions or income related?  I'm not worried, just a bit curious. 

 

It also said if I couldn't call in, they would mail me a decision within 30 days.  Good sign or bad?  Thank you

Sounds good to me. I had the same exact experience. They verified some information then approved me. I've also had a denial a year before that and it clearly stated denied right away. No call in. So I'd say you are as good as approved.

Same limit

 

I believe that's the lowest limit you can be approved for the card with.
