Looking at Amex Delta Gold offer with 70k SUB. I am currently an AU on an Amex ED. Member since 1990 (old ass green card that ended poorly). My question is what is the easiest/optimal way back into AMEX. I currently don't prequal for any offers in the amex site. Thinking about apping in Feb/Mar time frame. Open to any card. This will be the last card until October 2020 when I hit 4/24 and all the spree damage clears. Wanted to add AMEX before the garden. Sig line is up to date Additional data below. Thanks y'all.

Was the old green card charged off? From what I have read on here Amex will only let you in if the balance on the old card is paid. I cannot speak to how inquiry sensitive Amex is, but I am sure others will chime in.
Check the prequal. I don’t THINK Amex tends to be overly inq sensitive, but YEMV
I can only say from experience that I managed to get the Delta gold back in '08 with a score of only around 640. I wasn't hitting any pre-quals either but was flying Delta across to England so it made sense to have that card, so I applied. I got an instant approval but it was with a SL of only $1k. Things have progressed nicely since then. Your score alone is more than high enough to qualify you for that card imo, unless as others have mentioned the green card you used to have is causing some problems for you.
Thanks everyone. Going to wait a few months to app AMEX.
Denied.
Called Recon/CSR twice. They said it was too many INQ; Loved my score, but couldn't find a way arond the 'Credit Seeking'. Good news is that they mentioned nothing on phone or in official response regarding previous accounts. Thanks for the input. Happy Holidays.
Did they give any indication on how many was too many and in what time period?
