Hello everyone, I applied for the Amex Blue credit card yesterday through the amex website in which I was refered through lending tree.. The amex application said something like Congratulations, You have been approved, we may call you for additional information. etc etc.. My question is what kind of information will they ask for and when will they call, and when will I recieve card? and what is the usual starting credit limit since the site says 100,000. Thanks and have a nice day.. Mike
I have NEVER got a call on any of my applications... BUT ON THE OTHERHAND...I have NEVER got a call from SECURITY AT WORK the day after I charged less than $400 on a new card (CL $5,000)...(BANK ONE/UNITED VISA)...TILL NOW!!! $300.00 WAS AT WORK!!! The rest was gas at SAFEWAY and a CELLPHONE BILL PAYMENT...
My husband recently applied for and received the AMEX Blue card. They did call. The information they requested was our bank name & account number so they could verify our address (we recently moved to a new state), and a phone number for employment verification. Again, he has a government job and has not been there all that long. The initial credit line was 5k.
WIFE got one...she said she doesn't care and REFUSED TO CALL THEM BACK (AMEX)...the account was already a DONE DEAL and had the card a couple of days after the call... They "MAY" have been calling to ask if she wanted a higher CREDIT LIMIT??? I DON'T KNOW...AND SHE DOESN'T CARE.
Where did you see that there was a usual initial credit limit of $100,000. I recently just got mine...they never called me and my initial CR limit was $5500.
It just says CL up to $100,000. Most people will never even see 1/5 of that... That's just the max CL they give on that card.
FWIW, I initially was given $9K line, called new accts the day after approval and they upped it to $15K.
