Figured as much.
All good. AMEX is prequalifying the crap outta me right now. Maybe I'll just get that Delta Gold in a couple of months instead.
Very smart to check here first before wasting a HP like I had!
However, if you were interested in it, and knew you were rapidly increasing your scores over the next few months, I would suggest joining Citi’s FICO score card. Free and only tracks for 90 days. However, I was able to get preapproval through that instead of getting of Citi’s website preapprovals area. Go figure! Once I got all of Citi cards showing (including AA gold) I went after Citi Costco first (at the warehouse) where I app/approved. Two weeks later I went after AAdvantage Platinum and was approved.
I did this right after we closed on our house so my scores were pretty sweet to now. However the technique might help you out.
What a fancy idea!! Where does one go to sign up?

Unfortunately, Citi no longer offers its FICO scorecard (unless you already have a card and then they offer a free FICO score).
DRAT!
