I wanted to build a relationship with AMEX while in college so I could be a great fit for a platinum upon graduation. I opened this acct in Jan 2019 with an initial $1k limit. I never maxed it out or used more than $300. My scores were always in 700s but I never received an increase. I stopped using the card 2022 but didn’t close it to keep our relationship. May 2022 right before graduation, they increased it to $3,500. It was great but by then I had limits over $10k. Still didn’t use the card. 6 months later, it was increased to $8,500 with a 6.99% APR promotion. I started using the card again. Now today, April 2023, I requested an increase and asked for $30k. They counter-offered $22k!!!! BIGGEST LIMIT YET. I guess it took me not using the card to finally get an increase but I’m happy now. My scores are EQ 741/TU 742 and Experian 768.

This is my first credit card. I was surprisingly approved for this card with no prior credit cards or credit score. Did not piggy back either. Commenting to show that it’s possible to be approved even with the lowest possible chance. First time applying as well.

Approved with a 6k balance. Its a start

I have 8 months of credit history, and this is my second card. I was approved instantly. Had a 755 Fico at time of application. I make 20 g's a year (college student). Great cashback categories and a very good looking card might I add. Great card to build a relationship with amex.

I used their pre-qualification tool and I was approved for $5k with a 665 FICO score. This is my first Amex card and it's an excellent card to get into the Amex ecosystem! I was actually surprised I was approved for such a large limit with the score I have, so I would definitely recommend using the pre-qualification tool that they will guarantee you are approved before a hard pull.

In second attempt I got $6000 credit line amx credit card

I lost a point on my credit report because of an inquiry from this. I did get approved and it was for a solid amount. It did state that before I put in for the inquiry that it would not affect my credit ….

Fairly easy to apply. Some have said you will know your credit limit before you accept, this is not the case. You can find out once you accept their card. Once everything goes through, you will get an email asking you to log in and register your account. I tried for 2 days before I called and found out you have to wait for your card to arrive. The email does not say this, but don't waste your time. Once I got the card and registered, I attempted to do a balance transfer, which is why I applied in the first place. You can't do this online so I called. I had a decent credit limit, but they will only allow a small amount for balance transfers, about a 1/4 of my credit limit. It doesn't make any sense. Hindsight, I would not have applied if I had known that. Just be aware.

I’m 18 and decided to apply and I got approved also great bonus

I have wanted this card for about 6 years. Applied once about 5 years ago and was denied. Recently American Express add the ability to see if you’ll be approved with no impact to your score. Credit karma said my approval odds were “poor” I decided why not? And gave it a shot on their website. Within minutes I was approved and able to accept the card (they don’t preform a hard inquiry UNTIL you accept the card) I was approved at a $2000 dollar limit with just a 687 score. So if you want this card don’t listen to credit karma, head to their website and give it a shot!
