Keep getting denied for Amex ED - What's the min score?

[ljohn27]

What is the min credit score for the Amex ED and BCE cards. I have the PG, Plat and Delta but got denied for the ED 2x. My scores are in the high 600's.

how long have you been with amex

[ljohn27]

Member since 2006 on a corp card...but personal cards (PRG and Plat) since March 2014 and Delta just got this mo. They all have member since 2006 but cards were opened this year

too many in a short amount of time possibly. wait 6 months then apply your score should be over 700 by then you should have a good shot then

Hi there. I can only offer some info. I got my first Amex on June 8th, so unlike you, I'm a new member. However based on my info in my post here: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Card-App-Approvals/BCE-approval/td-p/3157184/highlight/true/p...

I would say I was a very borderline approval. The score that they gave me at the time of approval was Experian FICO:659, and my other stats are  in  the post I liked above. I got their highest interest rate, a low credit limit, and etc.. so I think I'm about as low as they'll accept when you also consider all of my inquiries, new accounts, etc.

Was score cited as the only reason?

When did you get the other cards?

Does AmEx actually use those scoring models in their approval decisions?
