Really want Amex zync!!! App itch

I really want to app for Amex zync, current fico scores are EQ 640, tu 560, exp fako 620. Got approved for auto loan thru my cu a month ago. Should I just pull trigger and apply for the zync. I had a closed charge off acct with them 6 years ago and one closed paid as agree with them 7 years ago as well, is it worth an inquiry???

In my opinion, no. Your scores are kind of low so you may not be approved. Just my two cents.

Nope, you're not even close. 620 is pretty much subprime, and since it's a FAKO your real score might be even lower than that. I'd work on your credit for a minimum of 12 months before even thinking about applying. Amex is not a subprime lender nor have they ever been.

Is the auto loan your only open account? Are both of your old accounts with them paid? I think your scores may be a bit low. You may want to consider AmEx prepaid, you may get an invite to apply in a few months.

You will need to try to oasis program with them in all likelihood. AMEX is known to hold a grudge.

You cannot apply for oasis program.  They only offered to some charge-off Amex cardmembers.

You may want to check if you have any pre-approval.

I don't think it's worth it, are these CO's paid?

I have 2 ccs with cap1 with limit of 2250 combine. 2 accounts withovado 4500 combine. And express acct with 1000 limit. Student loan with balance of 20k in excellent standing. So overall, I think it's a good mix of credit but really love to have an Amex zync..
