Delta Skymiles AMEX invitation?

Anonymous — Sat, 03 Aug 2019 23:36:15 GMT

I received an invitation for the Delta AMEX with 70k bonus miles. I just opened up two credit cards this week however, Discover and Chase. Should I still apply for this? When you get an invitation, is it a sure thing to get approved?

Such marketing gem... been getting those as well and I’m blacklisted!

Not a guaranteed approval but if you fly delta all the time then I’d say go for it! You won’t know ‘til you app. Good Luck!

The invitation is just marketing. I get those every couple months. Go for it if you fly Delta. Not the hardest of card to get approve for.

An invitation is not the same as a pre-approval. If you want to be sure, go to the AmEx pre-qual page.

Also, how many cards have you opened in the last 24 months? If you pass the 5/24 rule Chase can cancel your new card, as they are known to soft pull you a few times after approval. You don’t want to spook them...

I would sit tight and let Chase grow comfortable with you. They are already going to be spooked when Disco reports.
