AMEX Hilton Aspire

Was deciding between the SPG Luxury and the Hilton Aspire.  Use both chains regularly.  Went with the Aspire for the Diamond status.  Got instant approval for a $3100 SL.  

 

Existing AMEX member with PRG, Plat, Delta Plat, and a corporate.  I did not have a pre approval for the card (as I seem never to with AMEX but still get approved).  Unfortunately the app resulted in an HP.

 

Data Points

EX FICO 8: 749

5 new CC's this year (mostly AMEX).  2 new AMEX cards in last 30 days. 

No derogs.

Utilization 4%

AAoA 3y 5m

A shameful amount of inquiries. 

 

I am a bit nervous to see how my score is impacted by the 3 new AMEX accounts reporting as new concurrently.

Re: AMEX Hilton Aspire

Congrats!!!

Was this the only HP out of the 4 Amex apps?

Re: AMEX Hilton Aspire

Thanks. All have been HPs. Not sure why this happens to some and not to others. I've also had an HP for a denial as an existing cardholder.

Re: AMEX Hilton Aspire

Interesting! I've also been approved in less than a month for three new AMEX cards: Platinum, SPG Luxury, and Hilton Aspire.

 

But mine were all approved via SP due to my existing AMEX accounts. I don't understand why yours have been HPs?

 

Also interesting that you received a $3,100 SL, as did I. That must be the minimum that AMEX grants these days?

Re: AMEX Hilton Aspire

I've stopped trying to figure AMEX out. It seems to me that their $450 AF revolvers have higher UW standards. $3,100 might be minimum for those but certainly not for their lower AF cards.
