Two American Express cards

Does anyone have two different American Express cards?  I have BCP, but also want Costco true earning.  Can I apply for another one?

Re: Two American Express cards

I currently have four. I believe the only restrictions are, you can't apply for two of the same cards within 30 days and there is a finite limit on the number of cards. I understand that limit is around six personal and six business cards.

Re: Two American Express cards

I just got the Blue Sky with them a few weeks ago and was wondering the same thing. I want to apply for the Blue Cash but not sure if I should do it so soon after getting my first card with them.

Someone here was declined for another card for having to many cards with Amexco. He closed one and was approved for the new one afterwards. I think it was 9 cards or so.

Re: Two American Express cards

I currently only have one, but a few years back I had three at the same time. Two of which I got approved for three months apart.
