My credit score is about 725. I applied and was approved. Now it’s my most used card and I’m just stacking up hotel points. The AMEX benefits are great too. Must have card for travelers.

I was nervous to apply, since I had been denied twice in the past 18 months. And plus, I had also been approved for the Blue Cash preferred card for 6K 3 weeks prior. Anyway, I am excited that was instantly approved. For only 1K, but in 61 days, I will request a credit limit increase.

I got approved might not be a high limit but to get a foot in with a amex I'm glad. Just some advise for people who are upset with applying and getting a hard inquiry never just go and apply always do the option to see if you qualify for offers which doesn't results in a hard inquiry ..then if it says what cards you would be approved for then apply that's what I did if it comes back with no offers I don't bother applying .

I finally feel like an adult having obtained my first AMEX. CK said very good approval odds. 753/749 scores and approved for a $7600 limit.

I filled out the application with a 775 score after it being repeatedly pumped by Credit Karma as my having "VERY GOOD APPROVAL ODDS" --- WRONG!!!! I was declined!!!

Great card with very nice perks and flexible/ usability.

CK kept suggesting this card stating that I have “Excellent Approval Odds.” So I went out on a limb and applied. Was declined and now I have a hard inquiry on my credit report.

Approved quick and easy. CK selected this card for me with "Excellent Approval Odds". So I applied with a 728(EQ) 723 (TU) 19% CU. I have been denied by American Express 2 times in the past so I was nervous. This time I was instantly approved with a 1k credit line. The whole process took 5 min. Happy to finally break through into the American Express family. Looking forward to the Hilton rewards part of this card too. Glad I applied. They pulled Experian I believe. Thank you CK. You have really helped me get back on track.

Thank you for sending me a message that I had a good opportunity to request this card. They approved it! With 670

Instant approval. Was hesitant to apply based on other reviews. Have a couple Hilton stays coming up so rolled the dice. Happy to get this entry card to AmEx and start building history. Given the other reviews, I’m surprised to have gotten a $6000 limit but that alone should improve my scores. My thought - if your scores are in the range of some of the other successful applicants and you can afford a hard inquiry on your report, then go for it.
