Re Tynece on 2008-05-12

Haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa good question. I had about 35-40 on exp. I am down to 26 or 25 with them and I WILL NOT try it with those many... Lol. How many new accounts do you have, and what is your current utilization? They will use that in considering. Good luck!

Comment 15 by tynece

New Accounts on 2008-05-13

I just opened a cap 1, HSBC, and 2 Citicards so that would be 4 new accounts. The balances are

about 32% utilization

Which Card? on 2008-05-14

Hi, I want to get a rewards card and I hear that American Express has the best. I am unsure which to apply for and when. I am looking at the American Express blue card and the AE Delta SkyMiles card.

Currently my scores are as follows:

EQ: 683

EXP: 733

TU: 736

I have 4 ccards and have paid all of them off except one which has $1,800 on a $11,400 CL.

I have one deliquency on EQ and EXP for Oct. '06 (which was my old Apartments fault but I can't get it changed), this doesn't show up on TU.

Besides that I think it is fine. My credit report hasn't been updated since Feb '08 so it is old. It says negatives for me using over 25% of my CL. But I have lowered that significantly.

I just want to know if I have a chance and for which one or both (I want the miles, but the blue has a promotion of 15 months w/no apr, or if I should wait. Thanks! :)

RE: Dorrian on 2008-05-14

AMEX is acting a little crazy right now with their CLD's and FR's. The only AMEX card that gives you a good rewards program is the Blue Cash card. You scores look like you definitely have a shot at that. But I'd prefer applying for the BofA Americard Visa which gives you 1.5 pts for every dollar spent on all purchases. That's the best in the business right now. CitI will probably end up matching it sooner or later.

No Limit on 2008-05-17

According to my second American Express(blue) offer, I already had the Student Blue Card, the gentleman on the phone that approved me, stated as long as you are in satisfactory history with payments in good standing with AM. Ex, no tax liens, charge offs, all the standard requirements, there is no limit.

Comment 21 by hjm331

RE: Rockin35 on 2008-05-17

Yeah, you're right. ARod, I suggest that you convert one of your cards instead of applying for another one. AMEX is full of headaches right now with their CLD's and FR's so the less AMEX cards you have, the less problems you will have. Plus, if you covert, there will be no hard inquiry and they will base their decision on your payment history, not on your report. Good Luck

Comment 22 by rockin35

Keep The Delta Sky AM.Ex on 2008-05-17

If I were you, the Delta Sky American Express appears to be in such huge demand and a lot of people want this card but cant get it. I have the Blue from American express, not that much difference from my Blue Student card. The card you have should give you the maximum amount of benefits!! Dont waste the inquiry

I hope this helps. Rockin35!

Approved! on 2008-05-22

Hello guys,

I went ahead and decided to applied over the phone for the Gold Delta Skymiles card and I was approved with a CL of $35,000. I was definately surprised. I have good credit, but I didn't think my CL would be that high. Now I am wondering if I should have applied for one of their other cards...

It probably helped that I don't apply for credit that often, once within the last year when I bought a new car. So stick in there and be responsible. Don't apply for anything you don't need!

Comment 26 by hjm331

RE: Dorrian on 2008-05-22

Did you mean $3,500? LOL

I was approved for this card but denied for their Blue and Clear cards. This is the easiest AMEX card to get approved for.

But congrats on the approval, hope you enjoy your new card!

Good Luck

Comment 27 by dorrian

Yes, You Read Correct, $35,000 on 2008-05-22

I was approved for $35,000. I had her repeat it on the phone. I can't believe that, I mean, I guess I could have gotten another card, my credit report says my CR is excellent.

My salary might have played a factor in it, and the fact that I haven't applied for a cc in over 4 years.
