I'm trying to rebuild my credit after a bankruptcy was reported on my credit report in error. (My father's bankruptcy, not mine.) Scores were in the 750's before sh*t hit the fan. They've been in the 530's over the past year. As of August 2016, scores are now up in the 660's.
Once I noted that the bankruptcy was removed and my scores started improving, I went on a little app spree. This month alone...
- Upgraded my AMEX PRG to the AMEX Platinum (LOVE the travel benefits) (was able to salvage this card after explaining the bankruptcy situation to AMEX)
- Got approved for the AMEX Everyday Preferred w/ $2300 SL
- Got approved for the CapOne QuickSilver One w/ $500 SL
- Got approved for the Chase Sapphire Preferred w/ $5000 SL
Figured I'd calm down but I was reading that under my circumstances, AMEX, 99% of the time will do a SP if denied, so I figured I have nothing to lose if I got denied for another AMEX card.
So... I just got approved for the AMEX Blue Cash Preferred w/ $2300 SL !!!
I am ecstatic !!! American express has been nothing but kind to me since I got the PRG in 2015. Now happily back in the garden I go until Fall 2017. My goal is the Chase Sapphire Reserved.
