Re: Requirements for Amex Plat

From what I've read (though I'm definitely not an expert, some may have differing opinions), the requirements for charge cards (other than possibly the zync) don't differ that much. I've read that one of the big differences is really income. The plat may operate a little differently, but that's all I know Smiley Very Happy

Re: Requirements for Amex Plat

Did you pay off your former AMEX charge off,  they have a long memory with an unpaid chargeoff your unlikely to get  a platimum card. 

 

don't forget you also receive a nice $450 AF if you are accepted and only 1 pts per dollar spent, unless you travel alot, the amex PR gold  has a much nicer rewards package.

I'd be willing to bet that the underwriting criteria for Green, Gold and Platinum was identical.  The Zync with NPSL could be a touch easier, but is probably pretty much the same as well.  I'm not even sure income qualifications vary that much.  

 

To the OP, if you are going to go for an Amex charge card and want to the Platinum, go for it as I don't think it would make it easier going for Green.

Re: Requirements for Amex Plat

If you qualify for a green you would most likely qualify for a plat as the underwriting is very similar if not identical

 

Willingness to pay a $450 af is the only real requirement afaik.

Re: Requirements for Amex Plat

The Amex plat isn't that difficult to get approved for. In reality none of their charge cards are. If you have a 680-700 FICO, no major/recent baddies and a high income you'll be fine.

Re: Requirements for Amex Platinum

I was offered a pc from Gold to Platinum. After reviewing the benefits structure, Platinum benefits would not offset the increased annual fee for my use patterns.

Updated scores 3/7/21 TU 849, EQ 829, Ex 818 (all Fico scores) Remember the Three P's: Pay early in Full, Pay on Time, Patience
