Well Citi has a 6/6 rule 6 or more hard inqs in 6 months is probably gonna get you denied. That said, I got approved for the Citi AA Plat with 5 hard inqs within the prior 6 months - not 60 days, but same number within 6 months, as per the 6/6 rule.

From what I understand, Amex doesn't seem to care about how many hard inquiries you have.

If you're deciding on one or the other, I'd assume Amex is more likely to approve you. But if you're trying to do both, I'd say you probably should get approved from Citi if its your next app - just pay heed to that 6/6 rule and, with your profile, I don't see why Citi would be a problem. So for both, do Citi first then Amex.

Your data points are much better than mine were when I was approved by AMEX and WAY better than they were when I was approved for the Citi DC. As mentioned above try Citi first and then AMEX.

I find, especially with a strong profile, pre-approvals don't really mean much either way. Whether you'll get approved is more accurately predicted based on your profile and whether you violate any esoteric rules like 6/6 or 5/24. I know prequals don't necessarily mean you will get approved, and likewise not having a pre-approval doesn't mean you will be denied.

Either way, glad you're satisfied with how it worked out.
