EX Fico 685. At the time of applying, I had an old Amex Green card that was charged off three months ago. It went into collections when I started my photo business 4 years ago, but I had been making regular small payments on it and then paid the last $1300 when the CO happened. It was just timing that they occurred at the same time. I have also been an auth user on my partner's platinum card for the past several years on which I've been the only one to both use and pay the card for business expenses. Was approved for $2000. I only applied for this card after reading so many other people's experiences on this thread. I'm really encouraged to know that Amex will give some customers a second chance. I intend to be a customer for life, good karma willing.

This is my first Amex card. Not sure why I was only approved for $2K, considering a solid FICO and income and my 5-digit limits on other cards, but I can deal.

After I applied, I was given the dreaded "we need to review your application" message. I called recon and was told that there was an old fraud alert in my reports. I was then approved for $5k. My score was about 740. This is one of my lowest limit card. Discover IT gave me $10k.

I was quite surprised when I got this card. TU score of 670 and was approved for only $1k. But this is my first Amex card and I am glad I got my foot in the door.

My credit took a hit when I was hit by foreclosure years ago. But I have been slowly rebuilding my credit. My score was about 645 and I decided to to go to Amex's pre-approval page and after filling in my score, I was given a few choices. I picked this card and was approved for $5k. Tks Amex.

During the last 2 years, I have brought my scores up from the 550 area to 750 area on all 3 scores. I tried applying for this card when my scores were low 600s but was denied. When I finally applied, the approval was instant and I got $15,000 limit. I think it also helps that I had other cards as well (like Amazon, Chase Freedom and Cap One).

I believe my experian score was pulled and at that time, my score was like 705. I was given a 5k limit and I reported a $60k income. I got the $250 bonus cash back for spending $1k within 3 months. Customer service has been awesome.
