Amex PR Gold Approval!!!

Sweets8E — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:21:16 GMT

So I bit the bullet and stepped out of the garden to try my hand at getting approved for a new Amex PR Gold. To my surprise, they approved me. I'm sooooooo excited but here's the thing. Any other time in the past when I applied for a card in addition to my Zync, even when I logged in and it auto populated my personal information, it resulted in a hard pull.

I then found that later on when I applied as a new member without an account and got denied, it was a soft pull. You see where I'm going with this right??? Today, I apped as a new member without logging on and I got approved. Now they want me to create a new user id to set up my preferences and all before my card gets here in 2-3 days.

My question to you guys is, is there some way that I can merge the two profiles upon arrival of the card and still get a 2011 "Member Since" backdate? Or am I pretty much up the creek?

Nice! I'm hoping **bleep** gold offer would go nicely with that

Once you get the card and go online to activate it one of the options will be to use a current logon. That should take care of that issue. As to the backdating you're going to have to talk to a CSR but they are pretty helpful at AMEX.

Thanks Cageym, hopefully it will work out and I won't have difficulties. I'll wait for the card to come.

I agree. After I discovered I could not upgrade my Zync I started to just sock drawer it and not try to get anymore amex cards but then they discontinued the zync and made adding new packs a total headache so I decided I would take a stab at it. Not to mention I travel a lot through my job and the presale perks on events is nice too.

Pretty excited here. They sent the card out in record time. I got approved yesterday and they delivered it to me today. I had to have them update my Zync login to give me access to see both cards. Down side is that the gold card came with member since '12 year on it. :smileysad:

Yes, if you're an existing AMEX member subsequent cards are usually sent overnight.

Hopefully you can get a CSR to get the member since date fixed.

Congrats!

No product change. It was a new app. Now I hold both cards. A few months back, I called and asked about a PC and they said "no go" as Zync isn't upgradable, so I just apped for the PRG.

I got 25k, but found out that they have sweeter offers at other times after reading the posts here. Either way, I'll take it. No complaints here.
