If you get approved for BCP, there will only be 1 HP if you app right after the charge card.
I disagree. Not every one needs a charge card; I have one and it's been mostly useless to me.

I was denied with a 731 Ex a few weeks ago, Chase approved me though and I like them more. Guess Amex just do not like my fileHonestly between me, you and the fence post, i am not a fan of foreign CSR's. I think its a terrible practice. Discover, BofA, Cap1, USAA and PenFed CSR's are all from the states and that makes me feel comfortable.
I also cancelled my Amazon Prime account due to being transferred to the Phillipines, Mexico and India when I had an order issue. All of those transfers are from one call. Whats happening to America?
This is so true. I've just gotten both a Discover and AMEX. I've only dealt with Discover CS and you're right, it's great. Reading all about AMEX foreign CSR makes me nervous...but I do have a Chase too so sounds like they're here as well.
Don't wait. I never get those pre qualified offers. I just cold app. I'm sure you would have no problem.

True that not everyone may need a charge card, I have a PRG that I won't have use for once I get my sign up bonus (will probably close it before the end of it's 2nd year before the AF kicks in), but I apped for it to make sure I got in with AmEx in case my BCP app was denied, which is the card I really wanted.
I'm saying this a safer approach to getting approved for a revolver if you are getting denied for them because charge cards are usually easier to get approved for vs. revolvers. If you get approved for a charge card and whether you get approved/denied for a revolver, the revoler app won't be another HP if you do 2-for-1.
Most importantly, this gets you in with AmEx and makes it safer to app for a revolver since all denials will only be SPs once you are an AmEx member. You can always close the charge card before the AF hits if you don't use it.
... ah so that's what you mean by 'in with Amex'. I wasn't sure what you meant by that because I've been 'in' with Amex for several years but they wouldn't give me the sweat off their nose.
You mean "in" in the sense that if you apply for another Amex card and get denied, it will only be a 'soft pull' for any further denials. Yes, I guess there is an advantage to being "in" with Amex after all.

No problem! Once my EX score went up to 698, I did a 2-for-1 with the PRG card followed by BCP. Got instant approval for PRG, and the 14 day email message for BCP, but a few minutes after I received another email saying BCP was also approved!I was approved for Amex with an EX score of 698 for BCE with 18000 and BCP with 12000
Thanks for rubbing salt in my wounds guys
