I applied for the Gold card and was denied, call recon line, (bad attitude rep) was told that my FICO was to low, explained that my score was significantly better now. My score has been updated on the site (740) but my application is now pending, so I'm just playing the waiting game now. 🤷🏽♂️ This was about a week ago.
I will give them another 3 days, then call to get an updated status.
First off, best of luck on your application process. One thing I do want to give you a heads up on is that the agent I spoke to informed me that they are experiencing a pretty substantial uptick in new applications, so they are currently behind in processing (I still have not heard back on my reconsideration application, and that was submitted on last Saturday - so now 5 business days). Evidently they are saying it can take upwards of 2+ weeks, so you may not have an update just yet - but hopefully you hear good news. 
Additionally, in case you were not already aware, AMEX has an application status page online (https://online.americanexpress.com/eaol/statusCheckExitAction.do) in case you want to check the status on your own. Best of luck to you!
