Well, everyone, I got the AMEX Blue card. I called this morning and was told by the automatic service "Congradulations you've been approved" How sweet that recording is! I can't wait to get it and order the smart chip reader.
Congratulations, rick. Don't forget to sign up for Membership rewards. I really enjoy my blue card. Lots of benefits. BTW, let us know what your card looks like. I have heard that the new ones are somewhat translucent. If they are, I will have to call in and request a new card. ;-D
