I applied for Amex Green charge card and was denied. Few weeks later applied for the Amex Delta Goldand was approved for $1000SL

Good luck! I'm debating this one because i have a mailer offer for 60k miles for 1k spend and I like stockpiling Delta miles for my yearly trip to South Korea via Korean Air and this offer covers 1/3 of the award cost.

If you can use the miles, i would go for it! Specially since it is only $1k spend (easy).

OP - If you fly Delta, this is a good card to have. My wife always flies Delta and actually received her Platinum Delta card in the mail yesterday; she got a mail offer to upgrade with bonus miles.  I would wait to apply until November to make sure your balances and low UTL reports across all CRAs.

I too was pre-qualified for the Delta Gold on the Amex site. I noticed it while I was researching the new Blue Delta card.  I applied and was denied -- and for some reason AmEx thinks I have been a customer of theirs for over 30 years, so I was a bit miffed.  I called in and was told to re-apply, which I was weary of, and so now that's just sitting in Pending status. 

All of AmEx has been buggy lately.
