I applied on Thursday for the Amex Open Delta Skymiles card. I recieved the "further processing" message. Today when I called their automated status line, it told me that I was approved! I don't know the terms of the card yet. They pulled Experian for me (the inquiry is "Sierra Cities" or something like that)and my CE score was 720.
CONGRATULATIONS...I didn't even post about mine...I didn't want "PUSH" any "CLAIM TO FAME" It only took 3-4 months to get it!!! (MAJOR PAIN IN THE BUTT) Wife's DELTA GOLD came today, mine maybe MONDAY???
Saar, I just called the number and it is not automated. Someone answered the phone. Don´t you have another number?
C'mon Mr. Dangerfield....er, George ;-) We know your claim to fame LOL Now if I can just get them to move faster on my Hilton card before I go on my vacation!!!!
Geo- I hate to ask the obvious but why didn't you ask the person that answered the phone for the number?
I HAVE~~~1-800-962-7227 ("TALK" to a computer) 2nd # 1-800-641-2400 (USE OTHER # FIRST...I think other one you MUST talk to a rep. & business hours ONLY 8 AM-9PM NY TIME)
I called the personal card number again and absolutely it says they recieved my application for the Delta SkyMiles card from OPEN the Small Business network and that I was approved. 1-800-the-card, option 2.
Why, Saar? What would be the advantage other than keeping the pay-in-full balance off my personal reports each month? I've had a green card for 11 months now. I just got a notice in the mail yesterday saying I was eligible for sign and travel and extended payments. Is there any advantage to getting one of their business charge cards rather than contunuing to use my green card?
Hey Dave, I admit I'm no fan of charge cards. What I recommended was a credit card from OPEN. From your original post I gathered yours was a non-OPEN. The sign & travel feature got lots of negative feedback (high APR, posting purchases in error, etc.) OPEN credit cards are nice. The Blue for Business, for one, is free, lets you revolve, has 2.9% intro rate, it's normally approved with a VERY HIGH credit line, and - best of all - your balance will not be reported. Hope this helps. Saar
Ah. No, I was approved for the Open Delta card, not the standard one. I've applied twice for the standard Delta Skymiles card and have always been denied. I did apply for Blue for Business right after I found out about the Delta card. I was instantly denied but they didn't pull a second inquiry.
THEN THERE IS "GEORGE" who had to let them "STEAL" $5,000 from BLUE so he could have the account... AND I GOT 4 "HARD" TO BOOT IN THE DEAL!!! 3 GONE WITH "BUMPAGE" ONE LEFT... ~2 WEEKS I THINK, I WILL BE "EMPTY" OF "HARDS"...
