Long story short. I have 4 cards with Amex BCE, HILTON ASPIRE, GOLD and BBP. IN 2019 after getting approved for the Aspire, I inadvertently transfixed my checking account number and subsequently received a NSF for the first payment. Since then I have been denied for all CLI and CC apps. After a year the dam broke I was approved for the BBP. I had to call retention to get approved. A few days later I applied for the Platinum and was instantly denied. I call retention and was told that they would do a manuel review. After a week I hadn't received a phone call or email so I called in again. The rep said no review was done pulled my updated credit score and said I was approved. 100k points 10x points for gas and groceries etc etc. Experian score is 792 with 4 inquires.
Congratulations on your approval!
Talking about being persistant, congrats!!
Its a bummer that you always have to call in for manual review but glad you got the Plat! and with the nice bonus.
Grats on your AMEX approval 
Nice, congrats on the approval.
