AMEX Gold Card Approval with No Inquiry

Maybe this happens often but I thought I'd share in the case that it doesn't.

 

On 6/12 when logging in to my Amex cc account I saw an off for the gold card but unlike the 10 other times, I decided to click it and see what the offer was. Turned out they were offering 60k MR points and having always wanting to have a charge card I went through with the app thinking it would let me know first if I qualified then accept the offer. Instead, it went into review, and me knowing all my credit files were locked I just assumed it would send me the usual deny letter in a weeks time. Well, that is not what happened, two days later they sent me an approval email and two days after that I had the card in hand. I was pleasantly surprised. I've checked my reports to date with no inquires reporting so far. Maybe it just takes time but usually, I get the alert right away.

 

I will add that I have an AMEX blue cash, every day and a blue business card with decent limits so maybe it was just an account review.

Re: AMEX Gold Card Approval with No Inquiry

Congrats on the approval!!! It's most often an SP inquiry on those who already have an Amex account, but not always. Always be prepared for an HP, or 2, or 3... Depending on lender.

Enjoy the card!!
