HI Candi - actually, I saw today that my check to AMEX cleared my new AMEX Chkng acct. She told me to give it 10 days for the system, then to call her directly for help. Once I get a card - or not, I'll share the Rep's name that has been wonderful so far. Glad they're paid and she said it would show up on credit as paid and my score would improve as a result. I'll keep you posted. I hope I get the Green Card. If not, I may try for the Secured Optima again, now that this is paid. BUT, my Rep specifically said to get the Green Card.
Hey Dogman, Would it be possible for you to part with the name of the customer service rep. you spoke with?
check out americanexpress.com check apply for cards you'll see the BASIC American Express Card - the original. Also, you could scroll down to I know which card I want click OK click starting over there is the Secured Optima.
