AMEX + Citi Approval!!! PRG & ED Preferred (2 for 1) + Citi Double Cash

I decided to finally pulled the trigger on Amex and Citi!! Approved!
Amex story: I was reading on the forums about members being able to apply for two Amex cards as long as one was a Charge card (PRG) and the other was a Revolver card (EDP), so I went to the Amex website and a pre-qual to see if I matched any of their cards. I was matched for three cards: Premier Rewards Gold (50K MR), EveryDay Preferred (30K MR) and then another Silver rewards card with Zero Fee (don't remember the name). This is where i screwed up I think??? Instead of "Right clicking to open a new "Windows Tab" when I clicked "Apply" for the Amex EveryDay Preferred I simply clicked apply which closed my (Pre-Qual page) and opened my application for the EveryDay. Fast foward, once I was approved for the EveryDay Preferred, I tried to do a pre-qual again to see if I could get the 50K MR for the PRG but I kept getting an Error page everytime I submited. So, I went ahead and did a manual application for the Amex Premier Rewards Gold (25K MR..Smiley Sad ), but approved Smiley Tongue

Citi Story: I wasn't sure if I wanted to apply for a Citi card because I am already an AU on a Citi Double Cash with a 30K limit. However, I figured I would give it a try and see if having the Citi AU on my credit profile would have an impact on a approval with a high SL. So, I applied and got the "Thank you for your interest in the Citi® Double Cash Card account. We're reviewing your application submitted on 09/01/2018 and will get back to you within 7-10 days." I figured I was declined for the card and was regretting applying.... However, about 15 minutes after my application, I recieved another email saying "You've been Approved!"Smiley LOL

Amex ED Peferred SL: 4k
Amex PRG SL: ??? lol.

Did you already have an Amex card prior to getting the 3 cards last week?
