    Default Instant approval for Blue Sky but no CL reported

    Hi everyone,

    I just applied for the Blue Sky from American Express and I got approved instantly. The page only said I was approved and that I'd receive my card in 7-10 business days but unlike Citi or Discover, they did not provide the credit limit. I have no problem sending in income verification but I haven't had something like this happen when I've applied for a credit card before.
    AMEX Blue Sky (November 2012)
    Citi Diamond Preferred MC (August 2012)
    Discover It (August 2012)
    Orchard Bank MC (June 2011)
    Bank Americard Cash Rewards (September 2010)

    Current scores: 715 TU / 724 EQ / 724 EX

    I've never applied for an Amex nor any card via online. I'd imagine you can give Amex a call tomorrow and a CSR would be able to let you know what your CL is.
