Question about amex.

I'm a current amex card holder (green card) and I want to apply for the BCP or EDP. I've only been a card holder since last December. Now I could be mistaken, but I think I read somewhere in the forum that you cant open another amex card until you had your current one for 13 months (?) or something along those lines. I was going to app earlier but I didn't because I remember reading something like this on the forum. I just wanted to ask if this is true. I'm supposed to be gardening but I'm going to use the remainder of this year to get the cards I need and can get maximum rewards from as well as hefty credit credit limits. I'd like to get one of these cards asap so I can start the journey of getting the 3x cli. I figure the sooner the better since I'll be cutting almost all my cards except 3.

Re: Question about amex.

From what I read in these forums, no, that's not true. Many people here app for 2 Amex on the same day.

Re: Question about amex.

Based on my experience in the past 2 months, I've opened 3 credit/charge cards from Amex (Blue Cash Everyday Preferred, Everyday Preferred and then the Gold Card premier). I applied for the Blue card first and I waited for a month then I applied 2 cards after that on the same day. (By the way, all of them were approved)

Re: Question about amex.

You abososlutely can apply for another one regardless of how long you've had your Green card. If you're denied it'll be a soft pull and if it's approved it'll be a hard pull. Let us know how it goes!

You can apply right now.  I've done 2 in the same day, and then 2 more separated by just a few short weeks.

You have to wait 13 months to product change. Maybe thats what you were reading.
