nmxdaven's review: 
22 with 6 other CC's. Never missed a payment and have almost no revolving balances, but due to my age my credit score is still pretty low. 690's or so. Live in Texas but visit LA often so I think this card should come in handy. 1500$ CL, which is pretty darn low, but hopefully amex's famous luv button will help out.

Congrats on the approval. Use your card a few times, don't try to ring too many charges in one billing statement or else they will suspend your account and will ask for tax documents and your account will remain suspended until your info is verified within a week from suspension. That process is called Financial Review and it has been happening a lot lately and it's not in favor of the consumers, apparently. Just use it a couple of times, make your payments on time, and build a reputation with them so when they decide to change their attitude after the economy gets better, you will be enjoying the benefits of having an AMEX in your wallet.

The OP said $1500 CL. I guess you were blinded by the awesome design of the card lol

Cool! on 2008-06-11
Nice card... Like the designs on the LA & NY cards but does me no good because I live near either city. I love my jetblue Amex but I really never use... I hadnt used it in months... So I bought some gas the other day on it and tried to use it at Wendy's for breakfast but of course- "they don't accept Amex lol"
