AMEX Chances

[Anonymous]

Any reason why I receive Pre-qualified offers for Capital One Venture/Quicksilver and Citi Double Cash, but nothing for American Express or Chase?

I cold apped with Amex for my PRG and BCE, no pre quals and was still approved, with quite favorable terms as well. I'd say go for it.

Did you apply for the charge card first and then the credit card?

If you didn't receive a pre approval from American Express then I wouldn't apply for the SPG or ED.

If I followed that advice I'd have no Amex cards.

Apply for the SPG via my starwood account and if approved, apply for the PRG via the AMEX site and they should count as one HP?

[Anonymous]

Or apply for the SPG via the AMEX site?

You should just apply for the SPG through your membership and then immediately apply for the EDP unless you just want a charge card.

[Anonymous]

Really? I wasn't aware that you could apply for two credit cards using the same HP.

Done. Approved. $4k for the SPG. I've wanted this card for five years I can't thank all of you enough.
