I applied for the BCE first so the other two apps had nothing to do with it. I agree the formatting is awful but I was careful to read the correct part. It definitely seems that on non core cards, AMEX isn’t very inquiry sensitive though.
I'd definitely recommend checking if you're pre-qualified next time you decide to apply for a card from Amex.
As long as you've signed in and accessed the pre-filled application, you'll see one of two things at the top:
"X, you are pre-approved!" - Almost guaranteed to be approved
"Applying to expand your membership with us is easy, X" - Almost guaranteed to be declined
Again, every card from Amex has different criteria for being approved. Just a week ago before I applied for the Gold Skymiles card, I was pre-approved for all Delta cards and Amex charge cards, but none of the other revolvers. Pre-approved for SPG, but not Hilton Ascend. All depends on the card.
Good luck in the future, though!
Good information. I am showing pre-approval for all of them. Too bad I have two cards I have to meet the sign up bonus on in the next couple of months.
