Application Tips


Amex Application Tips



  • Safe to Apply: Amex is the safest bank for trying your luck at earning a new welcome bonus offer. They don’t usually issue a hard pull when denying your application, and if you already have an Amex card, they won't usually issue a hard pull when approved for another one. Plus, they’ll now warn you during the application process if you’re not eligible for the bonus.

  • Lifetime Rule: If you've ever had the same card before, you are most likely prohibited from earning a welcome bonus offer for the card if you apply now. Fortunately you'll be warned during the application process if this is the case. Amex is known to "forget" that you've had a card after about 7 years.

  • 90 Day Rule: You can get at most two credit cards within 90 days. This rule does not apply to Pay Over Time (charge) cards.

  • 5 credit card max: Amex usually won't approve applications for new credit cards if you already have 5 or more Amex credit cards or 10 or more charge cards.

  • Better Offers: You may be able to get a better offer than the best available public offer. Details here.

  • Hard inquiries combine into 1 when approved same day

Getting This message: ‘XXXXXX, you are not eligible to receive the welcome offer. In determining eligibility, we considered your history with credit card balance transfers, your history as an American Express Card Member, the number of credit cards that you have opened and closed and other factors.”

Did not have this card in the past, never had a balance transfer, have 1 personal card and business checking account, under 5/24 and Last card opened (any) 3/21/23. Any other reasons I deemed as not “worthy” 😉 ?

Steven

FYI there are 45k mile offers by referral s

Steven

Also note the CLEAR credit is now $189

David C

Any updates to this offer? If Resy offer has expired is the 40K offer the best available now?

Gabriel

Is there a current offer that’s working? This Resy offer ended awhile ago.

Captain Greg

What’s the best green offer these days? The resy offer doesn’t work.

Katie

You can get a total of 45K points after $2K spend in 6 months instead of 40K with a referral link.

Jim

Appears there is no longer a Resy offer for American Express® Green Card. The link no longer returns a Green only Plat, Gold and Blue.

matmaliack

So is the 2 cards in 90 Day Rule: You can get at most two credit cards within 90 days. – Is this specific to American Express Cards? I was just declined by American express and I am wondering why… Thank you

Nick Reyes

Yes, the section entitled “Amex Application Tips” is specific to Amex.

As to why you were declined, you can try calling the reconsideration phone number listed in that section to speak with someone. Know that they won’t always have the actual reason and may just make one up, but if it’s something like the 90 day rule or 5 credit card rule, they will let you know.
