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..

I think it would be smart of you to garden for a year and get your EX score up before trying. Not even sure about the CO, they could decline strictly on that.

I wouldn't do it! You have a decent mix, but a new credit line and a low score. No since added an INQ to the pot for a likely low yield. Use what you have, pay on time, and try to clean up your report first.

Ya I think it'll be pretty much impossible to get it with that charge off and those scores are pretty low FYI amex pulled EXPERIAN on my recent most zync application unfortunatly I don't know what my real score is on that but my plus score is 698, my real scores for EX and TU are 665 and 670 respectivly. Anyway it is a great card I think everyone should have it. People think i'm a rockstar when I whip it out lol.

I say screw it and apply for it. I was approved for the Zync with $500 w/auto pay with lower scores than you. Just keep in mind that YMMV. People with high scores have been declined as well as people with low scores.

Did you have a charge off too...with the very company for which you were applying! I'm sorry, but I really think that is a bad idea!

Yes I had a few CO's on my CRs all paid for though. I even had a charge off with Amex before which I did pay them in full back in 2009. No collections on CRs. I was approved for the Zync last year in Feb.

I was denied by Amex with a credit score by Fico 652. They came back with a Zync $500.00 c/l if I had proof I had a checking account where they can take the money out every month. After the 6-12 month period the will make it unlimited spending. I had two baddies that were 6 years old. You have to get your foot in the door. They will do a hard pull if you are applying for your 1st Amex. If people have a Amex and apply for another one it counts as a soft pull. I would wait for you scores to go up.

Garden mode till 11/19/2013 Amex Zync 500 H-L I Discover More 1750 I Capital One Rewards 1750 I Barclay Apple 1500 I Macys 2000 I Orchard 400 I Walmart 2000 I Chase Freedom 1500 I Lowes 1K l Barclay NFL 1K l Wright Express gas 2500 l PayPal Debit MasterCard BusinessCard $ ?

It is good looking when it is a new card. Mine got all kind of scratches by using the card.
