AMex: Two HPs in one week?

I applied and was approved for the Delta Skymiles Amex (8/27) and the BCP (9/03) and now have two HPs on EQ. Is it possible to have one removed?

Not really. You got approved for 2 cards which means 2 HPs. You only get a soft pull if denied(AMEX only) , but if you're accepted you'll always get a hp.

I thought AMEX was one of the companies that you can get multiple cards with one pull...

Nope, this is not a certainty.    Some people have reported getting by with only one pull....but generally this is when they applied and were approved within the same day.   YMMV.

Re: AMex: Two HPs in one week?

with AMEX you MIGHT only get one HP if u app for 2 cards at the SAME time. In your case, it was almost a week apart so they are different HP's. I highly doubt AMEX will remove one as they have no reason too. Id just be satisfied to get approved for both cards you app'd for
