Delta card approved for only 5k last wed. after the first CLI, was hit with 3 emails req IV, and 4 mailers. Cards updated in signature to reflect after cl reallocation.
Anything else, feel free to ask!
Thank you all for the posts! This is shaping up to be a great and informative thread. Sounds like a lot of folks get the pre-approvals not too long after their first approval I love AMEX already! Although I only have one card that I very recently acquired I thought I would add mine in to keep things rolling.
1) Original Card and date of approval: Hilton Honors Surpass - 8/26/2019 (pre-qualified for delta gold skymiles but apped this instead)

3) Original Card starting line: $1000

5) New card starting line: n/a
6) Credit score (at original approval and if it was different upon new offers arriving): EX 660 (others bureaus and current scores in sig)
7) Miscllaneous info/advice for all those looking to obtain multiple cards from AMEX in the future: As I am extremely new to AMEX in general, I was very interested to know when other pre-approvals would arrive. I have only been approved for 8 days and have been using the card heavily via digital purchases/apple pay (card has not even arrived yet). Excellent sign-up bonus from what I can tell, with 130k HH points and 1 free weekend night for $4k spend in 4 months.
Very happy to finally be a member of what I always considered the elite tier of cards. For others who may be looking into AMEX with similar scores and have yet to have any pre-approvals, I was approved with a borderline score and received a borderline limit but am happy none the less. No baddies on my report, just outrageous utilization the past year (or more) on all cards that has steadily been decreasing. So there is hope for us all.
An interesting and helpful note is that I always checked prequal with no luck, then I decided to sign up with their free (non-member) credit monitoring service in hopes of getting some sort of back door to pre-approvals. Turns out, this worked immediately. I signed up and checked through the portal and there it was, the delta gold skymiles "pre-qualified" offer. However, I did not need another airline card so decided to app for a similar tier cobranded card -- the Hilton Honors Surpass and was approved.
My goal is to get the EveryDay card because they have a great BT offer at the moment. However, even if I received a pre-approval today I do not think I would be given a meaningful limit to use for a transfer. So I will wait and see as my scores improve.
***TL/DR: If you have not been receiving prequals as someone looking to get in with AMEX for the first time, give their free credit monitoring service a shot and see what shows up on their offers page. Worked for me
