What score will amex see when I apply? Discover and Experian app show two different scores for FICO8

When I look at my FICO Score on my discover app, it shows 759 as of July 5, but on the Experian app it shows 769 and it says it updated today (Experian). If I apply for an amex card now, will they see the 759 score or the 769 score?

They will pull directly from the bureau. So the score you're seeing on Experian should be what they pull if that's your FICO 8 score.
