Do cancelled but approved AMEX credit card applications count toward 2/90 rule?

[frogsage]

I was approved for an AMEX card but ultimately cancelled it because I didn't qualify for the sign up bonus. Does this count toward AMEX's 2/90 rule or could I apply again before 90 days?

no, only cards that you fully accept count for 2/90 

so if you just withdrew the application because you were told no bonus, that wouldn't count.
