Amex CO, but settled for partial - will they approve new card?

I had an Amex Blue card and went through difficut times in 2008 and 09 with medical issues and had charge offs, including with Amex.

I used a Debt Resolution company and they helped me settle the accounts, less than full, but legally settled.

Amex sent me a letter inviting me to apply for the Amex Green and another for Amex Gold.  I have not responded yet.  In the past, I had the Green, then Gold, then they offred me the Blue in a year or two.

If I settled with them for a partial amount, are they likely to deny me their cards now?

 

I currently have scores in the 650 to 680 range, with 6 COs coming off by the end of the year.

 

Do they dent apps because of partial settlements?

 

Thanks in advance.

I went through the exact same thing and they approved me literally a month and a half after I paid the settlement. It's worth a shot.
