This is a question about the Amex pop up.
A little back story: July 2021 I applied for the BCP and was approved for $5k SL. After 63 days I applied for a 3X CLI and was instantly approved for $15k, so assuming Amex likes me. In the 5 months I've had the card I've put $17k through it, always PIF. This is my first and only Amex I've ever had.
So last week I get an email invite to apply for the Gold card. When I went to the Amex site, the SUB offer was the same as in the email so not sure why a special code was in the email. At this point I'm not interested in the Gold so didn't apply.
Yesterday I was looking at Amex hotel cards and saw a SUB for 200k points on the Hilton Surpass. I couldn't resist so I applied...and got the pop up. IMO, none of the reasons stated in the pop up applied to me so I was perplexed. I wasn't upset, didn't lose any sleep, BUT then tonight I get the Gold card invite email again! Is Amex trying to push me into one of their high AF cards? Curious if I would still get the pop up being they sent me the email before and after the Hilton app pop-up.
What popup are you talking about? The "NO SUB For You, click through if you still want to apply anyway" popup?
Yes, the no SUB.

If you want the Surpass card, I would call them and try to find out why you should be getting the no-SUB-for-you popup.

I did call and the CSR said the pop up explains the reason. I told her it's a generic response and not one of them applies to me. She was super nice but said she could give me no information.
