Sweet. I think I will apply at better Friday. I'm actually going on vacation Monday for a week so if they need documentation I hope that can wait till aug 3rd to get it. Or could maybe apply tomorrow. But won't give me much time to do apps elsewhere within 14 days upon my return.

Hoping watermark or loancabin can beat em and give me a good LE. I'm in South Carolina

I would email your closing expert and ask for the task. That is what I had to do. I got my closing disclosure last Wed, and am scheduled to close tomorrow. I emailed them Friday, and then scheduled a call yesterday, and they added the AMEX task.

Got it.. thanks.. I just emailed them about it. One other question is regarding appraisal. Since I have paid for appraisal and as part of amex promo this appraisal should be waived right, will this appraisal be on the closing disclosure as a credit? Or is it a statement credit?

it's Jacob calling back. Just wanted to go over your refinance application. Just a little word to the wise our AMEMX promotion expires on July 25th, so I'm not going to if we do want to continue to go forward with that. We do need to move pretty quickly. However, if we lock the way before then, we're good to go. I'll give you a call later on and see how long we are looking things so much. Hope to hear from you soon. Bye.


This what I got few days back

Closing today and plan to apply again in 2 days to initiate the process and get another amex credit.
today closing -15 year 2.5% with 5000 lender credit versus A+B+C of 1300. Will apply again for 30 year and hopefully get a 2.5 30 year loan locked next month at no cost considering the rate trend

I got a Task that informed me they would be refunding my Appraisal Fee to my credit card. But my Appraisal was waived, not just no-fee. So not sure if it would be different. I would ask for sure.

I wouldnt risk it. If this is what Better is saying. They seem to have full control over the credits, and can add them as needed to files. So I would assume they control telling AMEX if you qualify..

To be honest thats shitty and it shouldn't be that way as that's why there are "Terms and conditions". They have it in writing and you do whats needs to fulfill the writing needs.


Not change it and control it as they wish and "Bait and Switch". I agree it says "Apply" and not "Lock" anywhere.
