Re: HELP please. I accidentally applied for the wrong card

I applied to Amex today and was going for the everyday American Express card. But somehow I must have clicked the Box on the cash magnet card and before I could catch it it sent it in. I was approved for a starting line of $5,000 but that's not the card that I want. I wanted the AmEx everyday I called into the rep and she said I could either reapply today or wait till the card comes in the mail and try to change it after it arrives. My question is should I reapply today for the card I want from Amex today or should I wait until I get the cash magnet and then try to change products? I don't want to make it look fraudulent or weird if I apply for two Amex cards in the same day what do you think I should do?

Just another quick update. It looks like Discover card and Amex pulled Experian only. Thankfully when I asked for the second card Amex did not do another hard pull.

Re: HELP please. I accidentally applied for the wrong card

I applied within minutes of each other a couple of weeks ago, I was approved for the everyday and the Cm card. I read somewhere that you just have to app in a different browser which I did, and was approved. Good luck and keep us posted on your results!
