in Credit cards
I have a feeling the answer here will be a straight "NO", but I'm going to ask for an opinion anyway!
I applied for the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold card 3 months ago and was unsuccessful in my application. I put my occupation down as a student on the application.

- Have an additional 3 months of good credit history
