applying for amex

[excop01]

So i was wondering how long should i wait to apply for amex cards since i have a dismissed bk from 2016 jan?? I keep going to the preapprove site and get nothing. but suggest the charge cards and everyday card. I hear i should wait 5 years would be in a about 6 months. any advice would be appreciated.

Did you owe Amex any money?  If yes, that can come into play and prevent you from being approved longer than 5 years and 1 month.

Beauty of AMEX (majority of the time) 

Approved = Hard inquiry 

Declined = Soft Inquiry 

what u got to loose ?

It's not a soft pull. If you're blacklisted, they won't pull your credit, just deny you.

Expect a HP, and be glad if you get a SP.

This way you will not face disappointments!

If you burned them, you'll get auto-declined with a SP for a period of no less than 10 years from CO date (exact date just an approximation). If you never burned them then you'll either get an approval or denial with a HP! 

Good Luck
