AMEX Platinum Approval!

Skywalker — Thu, 14 May 2026 19:13:40 GMT

I just got approved for my 2nd AMEX card! I'm happy to have the Platinum because I have a trip at the beginning of June and really wanted to try out the Centurion Lounge.

I initially applied for the Platinum the same day I got the Gold 7 days ago and was denied due to velocity, but I tried again today and got the approval. It appears to be a soft pull using the 704EX FICO they pulled last time.

At the time of this application I was 4/6,12,24 for new accounts and 5/6,12,24 for Hard Pulls, although my profile is likely only showing 3 new accounts as of last hard pull and any current soft pull.

Question

How soon can I apply for a non-charge card without risking an auto-denial? I'm looking to get the MB Brilliant and BBP still and think I'm going to add the Hilton Aspire to my list of desired cards too. I'm taking a cross country drive in early June so I'd likely want to try to snag one of the hotel cards before the trip if I am able to.

The AMEX cards are the only cards I really desire for the forseeable future. (next 1-1.5 years)

Congrats!! Let us know if the lounge is everything it’s cracked up to be.

As for another card, I’d wait a couple months at least. You’re in the honeymoon phase with Amex still 🙂
