Amex Blue for Business

[Anonymous]

I applied last friday for the Amex Blue for Business card.  This is the response I received. 

"Thank you for your application for the Blue for Business from American Express.  We have processed your application but we need more information before notifying you of our decision."

Unsure what this means.  Is it a no, verification or what?

It is not a no.  Call them

It is a verification with that message.  Don't be afraid to call.  Keep us posted on results...

Letter states too many inquires in the last 12 months, ahem, I'm approaching a year since last EX HP. 11 year old small tax lien. It was on there last year when I was approved for the Amex Hilton and it was on there in 2014 when I was approved for the Amex ED too.

My guess is its the INQ's and I can tell you for sure they looked at more than EX 

If you look at your CR's you'll see Amex tends to SP all 3 CB's so don't assume it was based entirely on that CR

In fact I've seen 3 different company names with different addresses

Question how many HP's in 12 months?

6 hp's and I had to thaw Ex for this application. Did not thaw any others. ;-)

I keep track of my soft pulls. They soft pulled TU a year ago. Never again. Never a soft pull on EQ.
