I think all amex have the same standards for approval...so if you don't want one of those 3 prequals, just app the amex card you do want.
@jamesabbey
Thanks so much for the chance to chime in. 
I'm a big proponent of the Amex "2 for 1" deal...with two (2) caveats:
1. Always get the Amex card you want because it's the card you want.
2. Never, ever chase subs. When the subs are gone, the card remains.
In your case, you don't fly Delta. So don't get the Gold Delta Sky Miles Card.
But after reading thru this thread, you do seem to like the Premier Rewards Gold.
So what you can do is get the PRG first, and then speak to an Amex CSR and ask
to swap the Gold Delta for a Blue Cash Preferred, for example. You'll still spend
the same $1,000, but you'll get back $200 on a card you want instead of 50,000
miles on an airline you never fly. Like I said, get what you want. Don't chase subs.
So there you go. You asked for my 2 cents, so I just gave it to you.
Please keep us posted on what you decide to do and on your future
credit success. Thanks for sharing!
