My card is declined.. I really have high hopes on it.. I have good Credit score of 710 and have costco membership... I have seen reviews  that a good credit score with a costco membership is quite enough to get approved for this AmEx card I applied.. what could be possible reasons you think for the declination. Thanks

You can check status under the link as to why declined...or wait for the letter they will send to you, or you can call them

There could be any number of reasons.  As stated above, you'll have to wait for the denial letter or call to find out.  While Costco membership is a requirement for the TE it is no tused in the approval decision.  As with any other application for credit it's not just about one's score(s).

Where did you get this credit score and which CRA's data was it based on?  There isn't just one credit score out there.  For one thing, credit scores are generated based on reports for each of the 3 CRA's.  Additionally there are a number of different scoring models used by creditors.  Your denial letter will indicate the score and CRA that AmEx used for their decision.

The score from cap 1 is a FAKO score.  This is why the scores do not match.  Credit Karma is FAKO, credit.com is FAKO, credit sesame is FAKO.  none of the "free" site give a true fico credit score.


Starting Score: 570 ish
Current Score:EX (701) EQ (711) TU (705)
Goal Score: 750
In My Wallet: GE Care Credit (8K) BestBuy (6K) BofA Cash Rewards Signature Visa (7K) Cap One Quicksilver (10.5K) Chase Freedom (4K) Lowes (6K) VS Angel Card (2.4K), Macys (4K)

Hit the rebuilding forum.  There is lots of good info there on what can be done to mitigate past credit indiscretions.  It may not be fast, but it takes time to repair your credit.

 

Another poster has mentioned the free credit sites are all FAKOs.  It is not that FICO hasn't updated your info.  The FAKO and FICO scores are all based on the same credit report.  However, they look at the data differently.   Cap1 gives you a score that just ignores closed accounts.   FICO does not ignore closed accounts.
