If it's your first Amex, take the shot in December (just not too late, figure mid December for safety in establishing Membership date).
In fairness, BK's appear to be problematic with Amex, but if you don't have your future backdate set in stone, it's worth taking the shot even if it is a deny. If you already have had an Amex in the past (and if you can prove it) you can afford to wait if you don't want the possible denial, but personally I don't think that it's a wasted inquiry regardless if you need to thicken your file.

Starting Score: EQ 561, TU 567, EX 599* (12/30/11, EX lender pull 12/29/11)08-04-2012 12:22 PM
Good luck w/ amex w/ BK still reporting.
Starting Score: TU:650 - EQ: 67208-04-2012 12:42 PM

Lucky, I've never had any of mine fall off early, they seem to fall off the month after they are said to fall off.... Still waiting for some from July to fall of....
Good luck with your app.

I think you would have a fair chance with a real EX fico over 700, no baddies since BK and an income over 30k perferably a lot higher to make them drool And a thick file with multiple tradeline showing. All reporting perfect

Yeah.....I have 2 EXP inquires both from Amex 12-2011 and April 2012 ...denied due to BK
I hope that I stand a chance then at the 8yr mark
