Amex Multiple Apps Question

Anonymous — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 00:53:04 GMT

Hello All,

I decided that for the fun of it, I would app the Delta Skymiles Amex today and was approved. I know there has been threads and talk about doing multiple Amex apps on the same day or same week. However, I cannot find them, or I am putting the wrong words into the search. From what I remember reading, it had something to do with the getting the charge card and then a revolver? So, I may have already screwed that progression up, however, given the Amex approval, I would be looking to get the SPG card as I am a Starwood Points guy, now have 2 Amex cards, and would actually use the SPG for their hotels when travelling, and run on sentence.

Any thoughts into this or do I have it all wrong?

Thanks,

Well in that case. It's not a problem. Depending how long you've had it. If over a year. I say go for it. If not Don't push amex too far. Only so much exposure before they want to see tax returns.
