A quick qustion for the group. I applied online for Amex Blue on 1/11 and was approved "pending some verification." They pulled EXP and my score is now 753. A new accts rep called yesterday and wanted to verify my employment since I'm self-employed. I faxed a letter from my CPA as proof. When I called today to check on the status, the rep indicated that it would be another 7-10 days for a decision. Is this normal for Amex? Do you think I'll be declined? BTW, this is the only app that has ever asked for documentation such as this. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Greg
I have 6 acct with Amex... The only application that they needed to verify info was the Gold Card. ( approved instantly online ) They called me the next morning, asking "ALL info". The Gold Card came 7 days later, hope this help. Herman
You can always call 1-800-the-card daily to find out the status of your application. Listen for the prompts and choose that one.
I applied for the AMEX LOC on 11/14/01. I checked for the first week but got the run around and no answer. On 12/14/01 I rec'd an approval and welcome package. The date on the letter was 12/10/01. So it took about 3 weeks I guess for approval. No one ever called during this period from AMEX.
