Update: Approved! Amex Platinum - Your application is pending further review.

Im an AU on PR Gold and Delta gold. As for calling the recon number, they told me this is all the info they have at the time. I guess its the fraud alert on my credit since the rep said someone will call you to verify info within 72 hours.

I cant see a company taking 3 days of an employees time unless they were serious about approving me, then again, it is Amex. Any thoughts?

I dont think they are looking at your stuff the whole 3 days, just the wait time in the que takes that long as others are ahead of you

What I meant by the 3 day wait is that if they werent serious about approving, they would have most likely denied by now without going through any hassle. Profile is 1 Year 4Mo AAoA, 3 cards totalling 8500, 1% utilization, 753 Fico TU.

UPDATE: Amex needed to verify info with me due to the fraud alert I have on file. After several questions the rep came back and said im approved. She will also expedite my card. Im happy

im still trying to determine whether the platinum is heavily dependant on income.   can you maybe pm me a rough idea what your stated income was on the app?

i wanted the amex gold eventually this year, but i think im gunning for the platinum once i make it to the 760 fico zone (praying i get there this year)
