Amex Everyday easier to get than Blue Cash?

My last three baddies wil fall off my Experian in October and I wanted to get an Amex Blue Cash Everyday to basically buy all my food and fuel and stuff with to earn cash back, but from what I've read, the regualar Everyday card (the grey/silver one) might be easier to obtain.   Once those negatives fall off I should be looking at a mid 600's score with 9 inquiries and very small balances on my few other cards that I keep that way on purpose. (My TU is the best right now with no negatives, but trying to get Amex to pull TU is not an easy task, from what I've read here and there.)

I highly doubt that there's a difference in underwriting for these two cards. I've had many AmEx revolvers over the years, and the only one I noticed that had easier underwriting criteria is the cobranded Gold Delta Skymiles card. +1 For what it's worth, I got a BCP (and a Green card) with two 6-year old COs, and I also had a BK7 in 2000 in which an Amex account was included.  My EX at time of approval in April was 695.Whaaaat? Wow lucky! Also, there is quite a difference for someone with a 695 Fico score and someone in the mid-600s when it comes to approvals by Amex. I still believe the BCP has tougher UW requirements than the ED... but I was too chicken to test this theory out so I only tried for the ED card I agree with you as well.  And you're right, I was very lucky to be able to get 'back in' with Amex.    Actually, I applied for the Green card expecting to get declined, just to get a 'free' copy of my Experian FICO.  Well, surprise, surprise, it was approved!  The only 'problem', though, is I honestly didn't (and still don't) have much use for a charge card.  So I had read about the '2-for-1' HPs with Amex, and I decided to go for the BCP,  which is what I really would have wanted to begin with... and it was approved as well.  Granted, I only got a $1K SL and after the promo the APR is 21.9%, but that's OK.  I just use it at Kroger and Publix, and I PIF each month, collecting 6% back for groceries.  Rinse, and repeat...  In case you're wondering, yes, Amex does 'remember' what happened 15 years ago.  About two weeks after my approval, when I logged in online, instead of saying "Member since 2015" it started saying "Member since 1995".  Also, I was denied a CLI, and the letter said it was due to "...previous account experience with American Express", or something like that.  So it will likely be a long time before I get a CLI, if ever, but for my purposes I have what I need.They remember what happened 35 years ago. A day after I got my ED in January, the MSD changed to 1980.

  • I think I'm in shock - Amex Everyday Approval!

    So - I just had to spend a darn decent amount on repairing my car (just shy of 2k )  It went on a card with enough room, and quite a bit was coming out of the savings account, and another bit onto a 0% card that still has 10 months remaining, but I was looking at paying interest for 10 months at 24.9%, which I hated the idea of, but I didn't have an extra grand laying around.   Got to looking around, didn't have a preapproval, but started thinking about applying for the Amex Everyday (with the 0% for 15 months on balance transfers and APR).  I figured a denial really couldn't hurt more than that 24.9% interest rate, so I bit the bullet and cold apped.  I think I almost passed out when it said I was approved.  After I got logged in I saw that they had approved me for $2000!  Holy crap.  I'm incredibly happy and still slightly in shock!  Now - to figure out how to request a balance transfer.  Thank you to everyone here on myFico.  Seriously - could not have done it without you.

    Is there still time for OP to apply for a charge card and not get a 2nd HP? You should totally go apply for the PRG, go from an incognito browser window and when it shows 50k MR points after 1k spend in 3mos, click apply. If you get denied, its only a soft pull anyway! (i know it may not be easy with these expenses you werent expecting to have) And whatever the case, CONGRATS on the approval! The ED card kinda bugged me at first. I didn't think it was all that great compared to the others. That was until I found out the value of MR points! Easy to earn 1.2 and 2.4 which can really be worth even more if done right! Plus no annual fee.   What will you plan on doing with your 10k points? If you get amex gift cards, its only 50 bucks. If you get restaurant ones, its $100. But if you redeemed for travel it could be worth a lot more! Pair that with the 50k from the PRG and you are golden!While an awesome idea - there's no way for me to meet 2 bonus spends.  Largest expense is rent, and there's no way for it to be paid by anyway but check.  Groceries over the next few months will take care of the 1k on the ED card.  I'm not sure that I'd make good use of the charge card.  Thanks for the info on the MR Points, its gonna take some time to fingure out what I want to do with them.  And thanks for the congrats!

  • I'm getting a blue tint when I print a certain paper

    Recently I noticed that when I print on a certain paper (Epson Premium Ultra Luster Photo Paper) that a blue tint is being printed on the paper along with the image. This seems to be occurring whether I use a standard .icc file or a customized .icc file for this paper. Am using Adobe CS5 to manage colors, rendering intent relative colorometric. Am using an iMac with 10.6.8. and Epson 3880 printer. The only thing I can think that changed is I upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 a few months back. If you look along the sides of the image below you can see what I'm getting.
    Just for the heck of it, I just printed the same image with Photoshop Elements 9, and I am not getting this blue cast.

    This is not going to help you, but I have never liked printing direct from Photoshop.  I use a Canon 9000 Pro, which came with an application called Easy Photo Print Pro, which other than being a ting bit more work to print an exact size, always gets colour how light/dark the print is, spot on every time. 
    I see Epsom have updated their guides to include PS CC.  I wonder if they have updated paper profiles.

  • AMEX Everyday Card VS Charge Card, Green?

    Hi All, I applied for the AMEX Everyday Card last thursday and got denied.  I called the recon line and my app was sent again hoping it gets approved this time.  Most likely i will not be getting the card.  My questions are: 1. How likely am I to get a charge card (i heard is easier). I pay in full every month2. If i decide to go for it, how long should i wait? I want to get my cards out of the way so my HPs fall by 2017 Income = $61kCredit Karma Scores = EQ708, TU693, EX708CH7 d/c 10/2010Inquiries = TU2 (2 credit cards from May2015 approved), EQ7, EX7

    Hey Ishland,
    You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
    I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.

  • AMEX Everyday Preferred Pending App - CSR responses have varied.

    Last week I was feeling it with my 650 FICO scores across the board and decided to apply for an AMEX revolver. I have two business cards from them, the American Express Gold Rewards card and the True Earnings Costco card (with the latter soon to become useless since Costco dropped AMEX). i recieved mix responses from 3 different CSR and I was wondering if anyone experienced this before. I didn't get an approval or a denial, simply a message that said my application is under review. Right now on the application status page it shows : We will notify you once your application has been processed, or if we need additional information. If you wish to view an electronic communication of your decision details once we have made a decision, click here.
     I also got an email that contained this message: So I called them up 3 times today: 1st call was a female CSR. She told me my application is under review and I needed to wait 4-5 business days. I asked her what could be the possible reasons for such a long hold up and she told me it's because initially I probably didn't qualify but because of some certain factors or that I might have a history with American Express they are manually reviewing the application. Here is where it gets weird 2nd call was a male CSR and he told me because I already applied for the AMEX BCE and was denied (WHICH I DID NOT APPLY FOR),  my application for the AMEX Everyday Preferred card was also declined and to wait for the letter in the mail. I told him I did not apply for the BCE and he told me to hold on. He then apologized, took my SSN once again and told me that I was right and I did not apply for the BCE but the application was denied and to wait for the letter in the mail. My application status is still at "In Progress" so I decided to call one more time. 3rd call was a female CSR and she told me that another represenative has already took a look at my account. I told her I called back because a male CSR told me my application was denied and I wanted to know if that was the cause. She said it's still pending, under review and has not been denied. She told me to call back within 2-3 business days. Thoughts?

  • IQ770 All other users logging on just get a blue screen

    I have no problem logging on to the PC with my user account, but when any other user that I set up (or the Guest logon) attempts to log it says "Wecome" and then goes to a blue screen and that's it (even if the new User account is set up with Administrator privileges).  If I do a CTL-ALT-DEL at that point it will bring up the screen that allows me to Switch User or shut down the PC - if I switch to my user account it says the other user is logged on but they just get the blue screen.  Anyone have any idea what is going on or how to fix it?  Thanks much.

    Might be a virus.
    I suggest creating a new account again, and wiping out their accounts if their data is saved.
    If this doesn't work, either System Restore or System Recovery.
    I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
    1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android

    Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.

  • I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup

    I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup from last Friday, I go to my Lightroom Backups folder - and the most recent one showing not only isn't yesterday, it's OCTOBER 28 !?? Where the hell are the daily backups between October 28 and November 14?

    Oh wow - JET LAG strikes agin - my apologies; I have located the missing weeks of back-ups. After getting home from a 30-day trip to Europe, I had changed the location of my LR catalog back-ups to an external drive, and forgot that I did that. I have found them, and all is good. Never operate Heavy Machinery without enough rest. Cheers

  • Getting a blue sky with a D200? Not cyan, not magenta.

    This might a general issue with current digital cameras but particular on HDR images I have trouble producing a blue sky with my Nikon D200 images in Aperture. Most often the light areas of sky are more cyan than blue, changing the color temperature and/or adding magenta usually make things worse.
    Adobe Camera Raw seems to do better but is not completely cyan free either. The best way to improve the situation, I have found, is to use the color palette and change the hue of cyan towards blue.
    Here are three examples, first Aperture (default except for a some exposure and brightness adjustments), second ACR (same kind of adjustments), and third Aperture with the cyan-hue correction:
    http://homepage.hispeed.ch/kukushka/sky-Aperture.jpg
    http://homepage.hispeed.ch/kukushka/sky-ACR.jpg
    http://homepage.hispeed.ch/kukushka/sky-Aperture-hue-cor.jpg
    Is this a common problem of
    a: HDR digital cameras
    b: Aperture
    c: the D200
    Is there an easy solution? Is my WB balancing not good enough? (I am considering too always shooting a second photo with a grey card.)

    Played around a bit more with the color panel. Moving cyan towards blue and blue a bit towards cyan + reducing both brightness and saturation for cyan and blue produced a more pleasing color (and a rather good match with ACR):
    http://homepage.hispeed.ch/kukushka/sky-Aperture-hue-sat-bri-cor.jpg
    It's a bit annoying having to fix up the colors like this. But I guess this where the experience behind Nikon Capture and also ACR enables these applications to provide a better out-of-the-box result.

  • After wakeup I get a blue screen for a sec then my desktop after; normal?

    Hi, I dont remember this happening before, but then who knows.
    But, when I wake my computer up from its nap, I first get a blue screen for a second than my desktop appears. Is there a malfunction of some sort?

    Hi poops,
    I am hoping it is normal, my iSight wakes from sleep the very same way as yours...
    I also access an eMac on a regular basis, and when you wake it from sleep it just goes straight to desktop in an instance, while ours go to the blue screen for what seems like an eternity but only a second or so before going to desktop. This is explained by our Energy Saver Preferences, I have my display (5 minutes) and computer (15 minutes) go into sleep mode, while the eMac lets the display go into sleep mode but computer is set to never sleep.
    I would say don't worry, if it bothers you, set your System Preferences > Energy Saver > Sleep > Computer 'Never' but set your display to sleep... Good luck, Rick
    BTW - I think it is a good idea not to use a screen saver

    For some reason, my iphone 4, and laptop don't seem to like each other. Every time I try and connect it, I get a 'blue screen of death' saying that my laptop is shutting down to prevent damage. Help?

    Sean,
    Is there anything else you can tell us about the computer and phone?
    - Is this a new problem? Happening since new iTunes? Has it previously worked fine in the past?
    - How old is the laptop? What kind is it? What is the memory capacity? How much room left on Hard Drive?
    - Do you have any other iOS devices to test out this problem with?
    Another question: What are you trying to connect it to your computer for? Apple has made it quite easy to do essentially anything for you over the air. Just a thought.

    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • What do I need besides my HD camcorder to get a Blu Ray disc

    I want a Sony HDR SR12.  If I buy this what else do I need to end up with a Blu-Ray disc of my movies?
    I guess my question is: Do I need a Blu-Ray burner to get a blu-ray disc or will my regular dVD burner give me the Blu Ray disc?
     Can I get Blu Ray burners that connect directly to my camcorder? I thought at the store they had one but cannot find it online.
    I know I need the software, an HDTV and a Blu Ray player.
    Help. I'm so frustrated.

    My previous reply got deleted for referencing a BB competitor (even though I was reccommending AGAINST going to said competitor as their Blu-Ray drive is more expensive than other vendors even after a 20% going-out-of-business sale).
    I don't know if there are BR burners that connect directly to your camera.  Most likely it will be rather expensive and less flexible than a PC-based solution.
    An internal SATA PC-based Blu-Ray drive (for desktops, not laptops) will run you $200-220 or so.  Don't pay more than this, at least not for the most common burners on the market at the moment such as the LG GGW-H20L.  If you have a laptop you'll need to find an external BR burner, or buy an internal burner and a separate 5.25" USB-to-SATA enclosure (to make it an external drive).
    You will get FAR more flexibility with a PC-based burner than with a camera-based unit.  That said, editing HD video on a slow PC can be an unpleasant task.  It's possible but it'll be a slow process.
    Also, in the interim, you can burn a Blu-Ray file structure to a DVD, and nearly all Blu-Ray players will treat it as if it were a Blu-Ray.  Since single-layer DVDs only hold 4.7GB and single-layer BR holds 25GB, you will be very limited as to how much video you can fit.  (15-20 minutes depending on quality most likely.  A bit more if you downscale to 720P.)

  • On startup Mac Pro I get a blue screen and a cursor on the upper left. The mouse cursor shows up independently. Is it likely a video card failure?

    I managed to boot the computer and get the desktop to show. I now have a "repaired" computer. There are several problems that have cropped up. One is that I can only start up now in Safe Boot mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Also, I do not have a sound list, so I can't access anything requiring audio. Google Chrome only shows up as a white screen. Pictures that loaded before don't load in browsers, etc. Any suggestions? I figure I should reinstall Mac OS Lion for starts, maybe even do a mirror backup and reformat the drive. I think this drive has turned into scrambled eggs...what a headache!
