Amex App Question

Guys, I applied for the amex platinum a coue days ago. A little while ago they contacted me asking me to unfreeze my experian report. I was busy and said I'd call back tomorrow. It's my understanding if they hard pull a cardmember it's because you're gonna be approved, so is that the case ??? Granted when I filled out the app I was not logged onto the amex site but the rep I spoke with mentioned I had a zync so they know I'm a cardmember lol.

True, HP is typically approval but SP is a decline. However they might just be trying to SP you but they can't as it's locked (or does freezing work that way?). Either way good luck and call them soon!

Re: Amex App Question

Your creditors can SP all day long with a freeze. If it was that eazy to hide 90 day lates, every dead beat would do it...

Re: Amex App Question

Right, that's why I think I'm approved, they simply want 2 mark the inquiry on my report

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Amex App Question

So I granted amex access to my experian report, and afterwards they said to finish my application they would need form 4506-t.  I told them to cancel the app.  No way I'm providing them that much access to sensitive info, a paystub should suffice.  I'm good with my unicorn lol.
