First PreQualified Amex Offer 😊

I jus had my first prequalified offer from AMEX. Offer is for the Delta Sky (Gold), Hilton Honors Surpass & Hilton Honors Aspire Card. Feels good to finally prequalify.

I didn’t apply. I read on here a couple of days ago from a contributor not to apply if you don’t really want the card. I think that’s good advice so I’m taking it. More interested in cash back for gas, grocery and other.

Feels good to know my rebuild is making progress. If you are just starting out it will get better. Now I have to be patient to get the card I want with a nice starting limit!!

Thanks myFICO community for your good advice! Wow I just turned down a prequalify for AMEX!!!

Good for you!
If you're interested in their core cards, your EX will need go up a little but at least you'll have the card you need, not just an Amex for sake of having an Amex. It will happen.

You'll keep going back though 😂

I kid!

Aww, thank you 

 

You're really not that far away. If you have new accounts, you'll gain points as they age (3 and 6 months for some) and  keep the utilization low so you're ready when it pops up. 

Once you see it, pounce like a tiger!

I got 12 points a few days ago when 2 accounts aged to 6-months on EX. On TU I think it was 24 points. 😳😳

My utilization is at 1% 😂😂😂
Learned that here.

Re: First PreQualified Amex Offer 😊

Its amazing whay myFico forums can do for yaSmiley Happy. It can be dangerous as its easy to get swept away in applying and getting those approvals but you either learn the easy way or hard way but do learn. Ive been here over 3 years and i still make mistakes but you know what, all my failures and denials are a good thing. Ive learned now to let my profile breathe and in time be where i want to be. Im inching up on 3 years aaoa and that will be amazing feelingSmiley Happy Keep up the positivity and youll be rewardedSmiley Happy
