Your CL is probably higher than you think. I don't believe AMEX approves limits that low...lol. CONGRATS on the approval but why did you apply early anyway? From my understanding, you already have an AMEX card. You could have applied in 2017 and still would have gotten backdated lol.

As of 2017, rebuilding...

Yay! Congrats!! I think the min limit is more like $2000.

Nope. I got 1k starting limit and have seen a 500 on a delta card.

In wallet: Ink Plus 10k, AMEX TE 25k. In bag: CSP 16k, USAA WMC 15k, Hyatt 13k, United MPE 12k, AMEX HHonors 3k. In SD: Cap 1 QS 5k, Discover IT 7k. FICO 08 says my EQ is now 844, was 510 in 2010.

Thankseveryone!

Does anyone with this card know how the setup with HHonors membership works? On the application it asked me if I was already a HHonors member and I selected "no". Does this mean AMEX will set an account up for me, or maybe give me some directions on how to create one and merge it w/my card?
