Amex Account Review?

Ok...so I am freaking out a bit but maybe this is normal?? Yesterday I app'd for the Citi Diamond Preferred card and was approved. They evidently pulled EQ and EX. I just looked at my EX and it shows a sp from American Express Account Review. I just got the two amex cards back in January and so far only one is reporting but I have not gotten any sp's from Amex like other people here have. Will it say American Express Account Review just for the normal Amex sp's or am I going to be in trouble with Amex for opening the new Citi card???

Re: Amex Account Review?

Also, when I googled "Amex account review", I saw where someone posted in another forum that Amex is contacted with each hp on your credit....is that true??

Nothing to worry about, Amex soft pulls EX at regular intervals for the life of an account.

Have you opened other accounts since Amex? This is the first one I have opened since and will not be opening anymore. I just checked my Amex accounts and everything looks fine....I have treated them very well since I got them. PIF each month before the statement cut and I'm not getting anywhere near my cl.

+1 Amex pulls AR (soft pull) very regularly.  For that matter so does citi, chase, capone, etc.  At least for me.
