upgrade card question
hi, i just recently got an amex blue for students and was pre approved for a blue cash card which i accepted. is it true that if your a amex account is good for 6 months you are waived for the minimum income requirement for their other cards? If my cards are in good standing for the next 6 months, would I be easily approved for a Green rewards card, gold, or platinum?
thanks
thanks

You will get gold no problem as long as you are a current card member in good standing.
I took a shot and went for platinum and got it (21 years old, still a student). I use the benefits since I travel a lot and have been very happy with the card.

From personal experience in the UK once you have any card for a year, you can apply for any (non-invite only) card and you will get it. Just pay all your bills in full, on time and you won't have a problem

I don't know about it being a minimum 6 months, but it is printed on the online applications that if you have an AMEX card, the minimum income requirement is waived.
Just make sure your account is in good standing.
