Once you have good credit history with them, they typically don't hard pull for future credit card applications.  My first one was a HP and my next two were SP.

Congratulations on your approval!!

Thanks! Good to know. I'll put a little usage on it and maybe ask for a cli or a different card after 6mo at which point I hope to be north of 700 on all 3 of my fico scores. They are all right in that 660  - 680 range right now with experian my lowest at  661 at the moment.

I've been trying to pre qualify for an Amex card for months. Always denied. I have been doing my research and decided to go for the Delta Skymiles anyway. Instant approval 1k SL!!  Experian 661. I'm not a traveler so the miles aren't going to help me much but I'm now in the Amex family. I learned here to apply for other Amex cards the same day because there is no additional pull. Denied for the green and gold cards. Any others I should try for? How much time do I have without another pull? Thanks!

nice job But it is possible to get a hp on multiple apps so tread carefully when applying and thinking you'll get on sp. Ime, ive been a member since 1998, restablished in 2017 and my last 2 Amex apps were hp.

Yes! ^^^^^   Every one of mine and dh's have been hp's. 5 total.  The limits are great, we didn't just squeak by if you're thinking that that could have initiated all those hp's.  So Idk why we always get hp'd but I always count on a hit and always get hit.
