It has been pretty much proven over and over again with application approvals with Amex aside from being offered the $500 Hard Limit Zync that regular Zync through Plat. will be approved at the same score for all. I have seen Gold Premium Rewards approved with 642 TU (they pulled both EX and TU). It's just more money to Amex with Charge Cards... If they don't want you spending more than $1000 it's not going to matter if you have Zync or Plat. you won't get higher then $1k spending.
And Capital One that is a little closer general rule I think but I have seen 532 get approved for the $300 basic card.

Chase Freedom must be harder to get than Slate. I am trying to PC my Slate to Freedom and they're telling me I cannot UPGRADE.
