Amex Corp, credit pull & 5/ 24 rules

So I have 2 questions..... perhaps some of you out there in Fico land can help me with some info.

I know that if you have an Amex card(s).... and apply for an additional one they usually do not do a hard pull.... just a soft pull (though that's not always guaranteed). 

 

If you have personal Amex cards..... and apply for a corporate card, will they......

1> usually do the same and do a soft pull and not do a hard pull,?

2> will the opening up of a corporate card... count as an account for 5/24, if you want to apply to Chase at some point for a personal card?

Corporate card or a small business card?

Hmmmm,  I'm not sure.... Business Gold, or  Blue Business Cash, for a small corporation... so I would think it would be a small business card...  I'm not talking about a card issued to someone working for a large corporation.

If the card is on your credit report, they count it. If not, they don't.

Amex Business cards do not report to your personal CRA so Chase will never know.

Yes Amex business cards are underwritten with soft pulls just like their personal cards.

 

No they will not show on your personal credit report, so will not count towards 5/24... unless you are delinquent.

OK, Thank you !   I thought they would probably do soft pulls.... but wondered if the accounts were opened if they would report.

Thanks for the info
