No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
You have a chance but, it probably went pending due to the lack of time between apps. I would call and see what the status is during normal business hours if they need to confirm any info to push it through. This card in particular seems to be easier to get than some of the others from reports around here over the years.
You would think a Charge card would be easier since it's PIF each month but,, the UW is a little more stringent.

I was just denied 2 weeks ago for Amex platinum with a EX 729 and 5 inquiries in the last 6 months, 2% util with the reason of too many new accounts and too many inquiries. Well 2 days ago I received a mailer/invitation to apply for the Delta Gold Amex with 70k points promotion. My score had went up 2 points to 731 after the first of the month lol, every point counts. I went ahead and applied and got the still processing we will let you know in 14 days message.. Do I have a chance? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
If it wasn't a targeted pre-approval, I'm afraid it was just marketing and may be another decline. Hopefully, it's not.

Your scores in a vacuum would get you any Amex product you could apply for. I’m not sure what they may be seeing that they don’t like, but for some reason your profile is giving them pause. If this is a No, see what the reason is that’s given and post up. We may be able to give you some insight.
It sounds like it's the new accounts and inquiries...a reason that likely has not changed after just two weeks (and potentially a fresh inquiry from the Platinum app).

I was able to get approved for a Amex Delta Gold with scores around 600 about 1.5 years ago. Go to their prequal site and see if it gives you an offer to "expand" or a "pre-qualified" offer. This will give you a confirmed preapproval before you waste a HP, click on the terms and conditions of the offer and if it is a solid APR (not a range) then it is a go.
Also, is there a reason you want the platinum so bad that you reapplied after just two weeks? If you just want airline points the delta gold is the way to go.
