I think I read somewhere that the business platinum requires revenues over 1M. Amex used to have a card selector tool where you could plug in your business revenues and it would hi light the cards within the criteria...

Do you mean revenues over 1M to get an instant approval, or over 1M to be approved at all?  I would be shocked if you couldn't get a business platinum with less than 1M revenue.

I was approved for my Business Gold Rewards with revenues of less than 1MM. I selected $500,000 to $999,999 as a very conservative number at the time. I was offered an upgrade about 4 months from the Gold to Platinum Business and accepted. At the end last year revenue was above 1MM but they still don't know that figure. I'm guessing their revenue figure is much lower that we think for the approval process. 

Someone can follow my path if in doubt and seek and upgrade after a few months of usage - or just apply for it as I should have done.

I agree with scenery guy. I got PRG personal card in January and had an offer to upgrade to platinum by end of march.

FWIW, it took 10 days for my AMEX Biz Plat to be approved (for a well known company with good revenues).

I don't know if they instantly approve business charge cards (I don't have any experiences that say they don't), but I was instantly approved for all personal cards with AMEX.

Good to know! Thx for sharing

Just wanted to update this thread, and sorry for the delay!

Unfortunately, no dice...and it had nothing to do with minimum company revenue requirements.

At the time they drew my Experian score, it was 716 : /

Unfortunately, I think my 2 extremely recent credit card openings really hurt me...PLUS I was boneheaded and applied while one of my cc's was at 90% utlization...should have payed it down first. 

They said the score, plus recent inquiries, and me not having a long history with Amex (JUST got their blue card 2 weeks ago) lead to their decision. 

And I'm fine with that.  With these 2 recent cards, I have no doubt that I can build up my score quite quickly, and will re-apply again in another 6 months or so.

Thanks again to all the replies!
