I started thinknkjng about this earlier today and wonder - do you think a pre-existing Prime membership (personal or business) can, in any way improve one’s chances of being approved for the business AmEx?
Its probably unlikely - and fully decided on strictly by AmEx (meaning ones spending habits have no bearing) but I wonder?
I doubt it has any bearing on approval aside from which card you are eligible to apply for (regular amazon business or amazon prime business). But for the sake of DPs, my spend on my BCE is usually only about $300-$500 a month and none of it on Amazon. Mostly just gas and the occasional non-Wal Mart grocery spend. My monthly Amazon spend is only about $150 or so unless I have to order medical supplies for my sister which is only about another $100-200. Previous to my application for the Business Prime I was only prequalified on AmEx site for some of the lower tiered cards. Green, Blue Delta, ED. So, the Business Prime might be lower/middle tiered? After approval for the two business cards though I'm now seeing preapprovals for Gold, Platinum, Delta Reserve etc. Nothing in my profile has changed aside from a small decrease in UTL and this month my first credit card of my build reached the 1 year mark (yet still only sits at a $500 limit but that's a gripe for another post).
