AmEx has pulled EX for me, but it varies depending on the applicant. Some have been triple pulled when they applied for charge cards with 6 months or so of history, but I don't think that's a concern for you since you have a decent AAoA.
I think you'd get approved, but I would apply before the personal loan reports,

Awesome. Thanks; My utilization is going to be at 1.22% so i'm sure they will like that my debt/credit is extremely low. As well as the fact i have consistent payments every month for all of my cards, so the payment history is definitely there.
Just hoping this personal loan doesnt post. I havent even seen the inquiry for it.
I applied for my first Amex card, Amex EveryDay, a few days ago and was approved for $2000. I would have liked more but I'll be sure to try to 3x CLI in two months. My stats were as follows:
Age: 26
Credit scores: EX-727 EQ-684 TU-712
AAOA: 3 years 8 months
Inquiries: 1-2 depending on which bureau
Loans: Car (13,000/16,000) Student (29,000/32,000)
Income: Believe I put 80k. My salary is 68k but I'll likely bring in 90-100k this year.
Time at current job: 8 months
Bad marks: Account was 90 days past due in 2008 or 2009 so not sure it still affects much. 1 collection reported but I believe that was in 2007 or 2008.

Nice. If they approved you, I highly belive that you will get approved for the 3x. Income supports it and you dont have many inquriies. Your score will be a lot better once those collections and 90 days fall off. Thanks for sharing.
Your dti is very high with that car loan. A good rule of thumb is about 50% max of your income for a car loan. Are you the only one on it?
What did you just pay off? if we are not talking about a lot of util I would just apply now. They pull EX 100% and rarely will pull a 2nd or triple.
check the pre-qual on amex.com and see if you have an offer... doesn't mean anything if you don't but if you do you for sure don't need to wait for util.
