Approved for Ritz Carlton but NOT AMEX SPG?!?!?!?!

Got a $10k credit limit from Chase for the RITZ Carlton card but denied the AMEX SPG card and CLI on my AMEX DELTA.  Anyone know why this would happen. I have had the DELTA AMEX since Feb. 2016 and also have a AMEX PRG. Creidt scores are 700 across the board but about 12 inquries this year for data points

Isn't the Amex CLI every 6 months? Maybe you did it a bit premature?

Congrats on the Ritz though.. it's really an awesome card!

It is generally believed that the first CLI attempt can be made after 60 days, all subsquent CLI attempts take 180 days. 

 

OP - You will receive a letter with the denial reasons. That will give you some insight into why Amex decided not to extend you anymore credit. Each creditor has their own criteria for approving credit. Enjoy the Ritz.

I talked to an Amex CSR and he told me 6 months but we all know how that goes. It's hit or miss with the right information with them

Re: Approved for Ritz Carlton but NOT AMEX SPG?!?!?!?!

I can't be of much help other than to say Amex is sometimes a little screwy (just like the rest of them).

 

I received the RC today w/10k SL but Amex has been tough to get much out of despite use and PIF as transactions post. The inqs maybe spooked them a bit, but I finally got a measly 1k bump on my BCE and I have something like 15 inqs on EX...so maybe that isn't it.
