Dogman & Everyone: That's right, I applied for Blue online last night and got the message that their server was offline and unable to process at that time, but it gave me an app status page to check. SO, I LOG IN THIS MORNING FOR STATUS AND: Oct 01, 2003 BLUE FROM AMERICAN EXPRESS Approved Congratulations! Your application has been approved and you should receive your new card within 7-10 days. WOHOOOOOOOOO!!! I called to get terms but they weren't open yet, they must have pulled EQ I have't checked that yet either. This is the day I have been waiting for. All these years have paid off!!!! -NiceGuy
FANTASTIC NiceGUY - you dog you! GREAT! - Mine is still in progress - actually, they have not declined me yet NICE work! Couldn't wait huh? What did they pull - EQX? later - dogman
Congrats! I just got approved last week, waitin' on my card! New Accounts is open at 8AM EST, so call now.
Niceguy, congrats!!!! Please post your score and if you do find out which CR they pulled and your CL and APR. Boy, am I full of questions. Best regards, Mirage
Thanks to all. Sorry for the delay in getting back to this thread...I have been sick the last few days. Here is the low-down on what I got: APR: 7.9% FIXED! CL: $9K! They pulled EQ and my score at the time was 733. Hope this helps and I will be eagerly awaiting my card!!! -NiceGuy
NiceGuy, wow a 9K limit!!!! Congrats!!! What's next?? Really happy for you and Dogman. Also thanks for posting your info as I know what kind of scores I need to get the cards I want. I forgot, how many inqs do you have within that magical 6 month period? Best regards, Mirage
Hey NiceGuy, CONGRATULATIONS !!! You are gonna love it !!! If you think $9000 limit is too small, call new accounts and ask them to increase it to $15000. You won't have any problem in getting higher CL for the first 30 days after approval, and they won't pull you credit report. If you don't ask now then you have to wait for 6 months.
Thanks! Maybe I will give them a call and ask for the $15K...but, I am still in awe of getting the $9K!!!
Update! EQX FICO now at 756! (Amex updated balance info on Sign and Travel, was showing as maxed due to curr bal/high bal).
NiceGuy, I've lost tracked but how much CL did you pick up since the bk's fell off? It's amazing that a month ago we were in sub-prime hell and now AMEX is giving you a 15k cl! Congrats! -Mirage
Could'na happened to a ... ahem ... Nicer Guy. LOL Congrats. Please go update this thread: http://consumers.creditnet.com/stra....php?s=&threadid=52490&highlight=testimonials
Thanks everyone! In the past seven days, I have picked up $25,000 in prime credit lines with two cards: Blue and First TN Platinum Premier. Not sure what to go for now but it seems like anything is there for the taking! I know I need to dump my Providian for sure, just a little cautious since it is a trade open since 1997. It is quite amazing!
