I received a mailer for Green offering a 25,000 Membership Rewards Points sign-up bonus, and when I checked their "Special Offers" section I saw they were also offering me 15k points as a sign-up bonus for EveryDay. So, I used the "/takegreen" page to apply for the Green using my RSVP code and was instantly approved! Then went back to the "Special Offers" section to use the link for the EveryDay offer they presented, and was also instantly approved for that! I called to ask what my limit is on the ED but it hasn't been set yet. I'll update when I know that, as well as an update on whether it was one HP or 2.
It's been a two-year journey for me to get to the point where I felt comfortable applying for an Amex (and truth be told, I was still really nervous each time I hit 'submit'), and I am so incredibly grateful to this community for everything I've learned. I'll be gardening now for at least a year, and am so excited to finally have what feels like a "complete" wallet for where I am in life.

Grats I am intrigued to see if you got single or double pull. Contemplating doing an similar app with prg and everyday
Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
And yes, I will definitely update about whether it was one pull or two. I have an Experian membership so I can check that one for free tomorrow morning!
Awesome new cards, congrats!
congrats
Update: Just checked my Experian report, and it was just one inquiry for both cards! Thanks again to everyone who helped me get some inside insight into how Amex operates :-)
