In with Amex now what????

[Tomgon1981]

Just got approved for AMEX ED just barely from what I've been reading. Now my question is what is the best way to use the card I got approved for $500 should I use it for auto pay on insurance or cable bill or should I use it a lot pay in full couple times a month to get best results with Amex now that I'm in with amex I wanna stay in their good graces

Use it a lot and PIF a few times. The $1000 spend sign up bonus will get you 10K points and if you make 20 transactions, you get your points + 20%.

Im using it for my everyday spend until my US Airways card comes. $1,400 in charges, $1,100 in payments three weeks into my first statement. Amex prefers no balances with heavy use (treat it like a charge card if you can), but with an intro 0% APR period of 15 months, they expect a relatively small balance I'm sure. 

Lenders always want to see responsible use. None of them mind a little interest income.

You know, Most AMEX cards have flexible limits.

You can charge and make payments, let 1-9% report.
