Amex no hit application process.

If you have not been on the amex website to apply for a card recently they now have a no hit application process (Soft pull only) in which if you are approved (upon accepting offer only) will it impact your credit.  Best thing to come out of amex of recent. Does not apply to business cards

Re: Amex no hit application process.

Sounds interesting, Do they also let you know your SL and apr before you accept the offer?

Re: Amex no hit application process.

Same for me a few months ago.  Was well worth it even with just knowing the approval/denial status with the SP.  Accepted and got the 2 HPs TU and EX) being my first Amex and was pleasantly surpised with the starting limit given my dirty profile.
