No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Reason I'm asking is because I'm new to AMEX and was approved for BCE for $20,000 starting line in the beginning of 2021, then three months later i was approved for BCP for a starting limit on $7,000. I'm already getting offers for the platinum and delta travel cards. I check the site and it says I'm pre approved for almost any card. Should I jump at it, or wait until 2022?
Seems like they like you...I got 2 credit cards and a charge card from them this year, but my limits on the credit cards were much lower $3k and $5k, so you should be fine for another app.
I was approved for the Bonvoy and Delta Reserve together back in August, Bonvoy at $3,100 now $6,200, and the Reserve at $3,800. I was then approved for the Platinum in October, then on Monday approved for the BCP at $10,000. A also have the Optima and Gold. So to answer your question, if Amex likes you then three new cards in a year is certainly attainable.

Yes, you could definitely qualify for a 3rd one. Typically, AENB tends to limit 2 [approved] revolving accounts (business and/or personal) in a 90-day period.
As long as you're past that 90-day window from BCP, you can apply for another revolver. As far as charge cards go, they're not subject to the same internal rules so theoretically you could apply for a charge card at any point.
Are you using both BCE and/or BCP frequently?
I got the delta gold in Feb 2020
The amex gold in Feb 2021
The BBP in Mar 2021
The CS platinum in late June 2021
The Bonvoy Business in Oct 2021
So I don't think it would be problem for you.
I picked up the BBP, the BCP, and the AmEx Platinum.
They really really really want me to pick up the AmEx Platinum Business as well, which would be a 4th.
When they like you, they love you.

Yes same here - ever since I just got approved for the Amazon Prime Business revolver - my first with Amex, second with personal Plat - their marketing dept has been hounding me too.
Within a week, Amex pre-approved me for:
150,000 MR Business Plat
80,000 MR Business Gold
Blue Business Plus
Until this time, having only the personal Plat, they never pre-approved me for anything in the past 5 years.
Something strange must be going on with Amex - why would all of a sudden, they pre-approve new card accounts ?
Are they having some type of fiscal issue ?

@4sallypat Is seeing a variety pre-approved offers an indication of financial turmoil with AENB? Seems pretty standard in my view + plenty of individuals have been seeing them as well 🤷♂️
I'm not sure if you do this already, but if you want to learn more about how they are doing financially, you should read up or review their earnings and SEC filings -- that would be more indicative of the company's financial condition and market performance.
Me too
150,000 for platinum business
90,000 gold business
80,000 delta gold business
100,000 delta platinum business
125,000 delta reserve business
And elevated hilton cards
