Its crazy!

My wife and I applied for the first time in June, and were conditionally approved two days later.

We had our interviews in late August and early October respectively, and received our cards within two weeks.

For both interviews (at LAX’s CPB offices), there were almost no other applicants there!

I fly between the US and Australia often (dual citizen) and Qantas has been terrible post-COVID.

They’ve cut back on amenities, and service is awful with overall experience and being on time.

I flew MEL-SFO last week on United and it was so much better than any time on Qantas.

Just did this.

My daughter has been an Authorized User on most of my Amex cards since she was 16.

The day she turned 18, I signed her up for Credit Karma and Credit Sesame and she had a credit score of around 750.

The same day she applied for a Capital One Platinum Card and was approved with a limit of $3k.
