AMEX Re-application

Anonymous · ‎07-30-2012

I've been recently denied for the AMEX BCE and so I called the backdoor number twice to get the reason why I was denied.

The first CR told me she couldn't say it over the phone but that I could apply for the ZYNC card after 24 hours. The second CR told me that I could apply for the ZYNC card after 90 days from my original application. [But told me why I was denied, kudos for that ]

Who is right here? Should I wait 90 days or try my luck sooner with the ZYNC card?

Interesting set of responses. I tought one must wait 30 days?

If I recall correctly, and I couldn't find the answer for sure using the search function, you need to wait 30 days after a denial. If you try to app before then it's automatically kicked back no pull.

You wait for 30 days before applying. Both CSR apparently sleep on the job.

Thanks for the information!

Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be able to hold a Zync card in my wallet
