Approved for+accepted Amex Gold, then other pre-approvals disappeared

[W261w261]

I was preapproved for the Amex BCP, the Gold and the Plat. I took down the Gold, and then noticed that the BCP and Plat had downshifted to "its easy to apply..."

Any guidance as to how long before the pre-approvals might return? Or how long to wait until I should apply for another Amex card, specifically he BCP? I kind of wonder if I would have taken down the BCP instead of the Gold, whether I would have been stuck with another 1k CL. 

Any thoughts on whether the BCP is harder to get than the Gold? 

EDP 4 yrs cemented $1k.

Score 690. Burned Amex twice 1989/1996 but somehow have escaped BL. Have charged up a storm on the EDP fwiw.

If your reports have blemishes, a $1000 CL is fairly likely, as is difficulty growing it. Prequals cone and go all the time. When I got BCP, Gold popped up four days later - I went for it and got it. Just keep checking if it's one you want.

I don't think it is what you think.

I believe that you don't get preapprovals as a member like you did before your first card.

USUALLY, members get SPs when the apply for additional cards.

I THINK.

At 690, getting approved for the Amex Gold was a happy relief.  Have had an Everyday Pref card for 4 years with 1k limit that seems unmoveable.  I'm going to start traveling soon, and noticed that big 80k SUB on the Delta Plat Reserve. But it expires in a week. Do you think Amex would reject applying for two big cards in a week, no matter what?  If all they say is "no," well ok, but I'm concerned about the unknown ramifications.  Anyone have wisdom?  Thx.

Don't let the lack of preapproval scare you it's an sp, I haven't had preapprovals since I got my Amazon business card in November and in early March I was approved for a Hilton with a 15k limit no preapproval

I applied for the gold and Delta platinum on the same day. I didn't have any pre-approvals and didn't realize they were using an old score of 625. Both were approved. After that I was showing pre-approvals, but they disappeared after a day or two. I've never had pre-approval on any of the cards I have with them.

Last year I was approved for all their cards.   I applied for the green, gold and Plat in two days.  Approved for all 3.  Then I picked up the BCE card and was approved.   Those approvals seems like after you get one will go away about 2 -3 weeks later.   Then they might reappear maybe 1 1/2 months later
