Today I received another "pre-selected" offer from AMEX. I was denied May 15th due to high UTI%, but plan on app'ing again next week since that's taken care of.
This offer that I received, though, is for a sign up bonus of 25K points with....... AMEX GREEN?!??! Huh????? I've never heard of a sign up bonus with the Green card. I wanted the PRG for the first year for two reasons: 1) those 25K points, and 2) 2x points on gas and supermarket purchases. After the first year, I was probably going to downgrade to the Green anyway.
My question is this: Should I take AMEX on this offer? I mean, I know the common consensus is that approval criteria seems to be the same for all charge cards, but this seems to be a targeted offer. Does that matter? Also, if I were to use that RSVP code on the letter, I'm assuming it would automatically apply for the Green?

Good luck should you app

Take the offer, then apply for gold right after you get instant approval for green!
Then you can get what you really want but have fall back of first approved green if not!

Wait a minute, I can apply for PRG RIGHT after I get approval for green?? Isn't there a wait period before I can successfully apply for another card?

First of all, you can't app within 30 days of a denial. Take the offer after your cr has updated AND after the 15th.
Yes, that I know. I'm applying sometime next week when I get a chance.
