    Final approval subject to information verification? I applied online and got an instant approval for the Amex Blue cash, but that a CSR would contact us within the next 5 days....

    Is this normal or is something wrong?

    Don't worry about the CSR call to verify information - it's just for basic stuff like who you bank with, what's the number where we can verify your employment - that kind of stuff.

    I got approved last week for blue. I was so happy, and this site was down...There was no place to share my joy. I told a girl at work 'I got blue" and she looked at me like I was nuts.

    The funny thing is. I have been waiting for tu to post my 4k CL increase on my CU visa. I knew it would take my score over 700.
    When My EQ hit 700 I applied for the HH trio and got all 3.
    So I check PG one morning and see that TU shows my new CL and my score was at 703.
    I quickly dialed 1-800-THE-CARD. I wanted to apply before my HH trio hits and my scores take a dive.
    I got approved for 20k. I almost sh!t myself!!
    The next day I check PG again and they checked EQ. Everything I had seen indicated they would pull TU for FL.

    So I took two hards on EX in 5 days :( score when to 698. But since I still had room to take a hard on TU (Thanks B!) I decided that Chase would check TU. I applied for plat ultimate rewards and got approved. 3.5k.

    With the HH trio that is 30k of new credit in 6 days. Now it is time to chill out. I want to be at 740 by November to buy a Tahoe at 0%.

    I also called MBNA today and got a CL from 7.5k to 10k with out a hard.

    But the best part of the week was getting blue. It was one of my goals and with the help of creditnet I was able to achieve it.

    0% new car is next....

    Nice one on Blue too 420greg.

    I'm in the same boat as you.....the credit run stops with Blue and I am taking an exodus from new credit until the end of the year. Or at least six months, until we go to finance a new home or **maybe** a new truck for dh.
