OP, call the new accounts department. The phone number should on Amex's app status page. They probably need to verify some info. I bet they haven't even pulled your CR yet.I just checked my Experian and you were right, there was no pull. What does this mean?
They might need to confirm your address. Call, but there's no guarantee they'll approve you.

I did add a PO box and a physical address on the application. Which address do they want to verify?
Whichever one already is already on your CR, I would imagine.

Amex gave me my first revolver - ever. Now granted that was 1998, but the requirements for one of their chargers arent all that tough.
Even with a thin file I think you will be fine.

By comparing the address you provided on your app (or over the phone) to the one on your CR.

IMO, PO Box is a bad idea. It would raise a red flag.
