How to get on Amex Business radar?

[jcooks]

Last month I applied for the Amex Blue Business Plus but was denied due to not having a long relationship with Amex.  At the time of applying, I was only pre-approved for all the co-branded cards (Hilton/Marriott/Delta).  Now, I am currently pre-approved for all personal cards.  Not any business cards.  I don't currently have any business cards nor had one in the past.  How could I get Amex to notice me.  I feel like that guy at the bar trying to get that girl to notice me and I'm asking for pointers.

I remember....

You're on the radar and they're hawking you right now as you are new to Amex (March?). You have gone from no approvals on core cards to pre-approvals, would say that is noticing. She is going to give you that dance, just likes taking her time and will let you know when.

Spend, pay and execute a little patience.

Almost there!

@jcooks  you are on the radar. The only thing is to keep in mind - Business app even when you log in will not show "Pre-Approval" or "expand your membership"

I recommend going for the Co-Brand cards on the Business 1st.

How would some know that they're pre-approved for business cards?  I've seen people posting that they got pre-approvals.

Dully noted, either way, credit and picking up girls, neither was my forte.  Andy from 40 year old virgina the movie looked like he had stellar credit.  That means I have a chance!

@jcooks  I cant speak for others, but i have never seen one that says "Pre Approved" or "Expand your memebrship" on the business side.

first business card i got with Amex was earlier this year was the Amazon Business Prime Card. that started my relationship. Only HP.

The following month, i got the Hilton Honors Biz card (auto approved, no HP. also hit the SUB in 30 days). I had to wait for 2/90 and then applied for the BBP (auto approved, hit the SUB on that in 45 days). I waited for another 2/90 and applied for the Biz Gold and also was auto approved for that one as well (working on the $6k spend in 3 months for an 80k MR PTS SUB).

So one hard pull in january, led to 3 revolvers and 1 charge card. the other guys are right, if you start with a co-branded card (hilton/amazon/marriot/delta/Lowe's), DP's have shown they arent as conservative like they are with BBP/BBC/Biz Gold/Biz Platinum. show amex you can spend the money, they will gladly give you the other cards. 

my debate now, do i go for the biz platinum or perosnal platinum. >.<
