Hello guys!
Just the other day I was approved for the AMEX Blue Cash Everyday with a starting limit of $1K. I almost hit the floor.
There are many good threads about what AMEX card is the easiest to to get. After doing my research here on MYFICO, it revealed BCE and DELTA GOLD are the easiest, with borderline approvals at $1K SL and around the magic number of 660EX. After the loss of Costco, it really looks like they have loosened up pretty good.
Here is my profile so I can help some other of you guys looking to have an AMEX in your wallet.
Bad car loan - 60 and 30 day lates 2010-2012
Repo - Dec 2014
Since I have built 1 year and two months of perfect payment history on all my accounts. I went from 450 - 659 in a year and 3 months, and now I have an AMEX. IT IS POSSIBLE! YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
EX 08 659
6 Inquiries
Total credit line 16K

I hope this boosts the confidence of some people looking to have the coveted AMEX. It took a month of research before I built the confidence, but if you want to try to get in with AMEX and you have a similar profile, the time is now.
Next I'm gonna update you on the famed 3X CLI upon activation and see if that works out.
Cheers everyone!
