Applying for AmEx with EXPIRED Targeted Offers

Anonymous · ‎12-17-2012

I received multiple targeted offers from AmEx several months ago and ultimately chose the Blue Sky (for the $400 statement credit with a $500 minimum spend). I didn't want to apply for more than one since it was my first AmEx and I didn't want to get greedy, so I let the others expire back in September or so.

With January rolling around, which would be the ideal time to apply for any AmEx, I'm starting to regret letting those other offers go. Does anyone have experience or knowledge about using expired targeted offers? I figure the answer is "not possible," but thought I'd ask.

Sorry, this has nothing to do with your post/question, but I noticed something in your siggy- Ink Bold World Elite MC. I didn't know Chase offered a World Elite, is it a World Elite or just a World MC?

Citi Thank You $13,200 - Chase Freedom $3,100 - AMEX Zync NPSL (init. ability $17.5K) - Citi Forward $7,000 - AMEX BCP $6,000 - USAA Rate Adv $15,000 - USAA World MC $12,000 - Discover More $4,000 - Amex Hilton Honors $4,500 - Amex SPG $2,000 - Barclay's Priceline Rewards $6,400 - Chase Sapphire Pref. $7,500

EQ: 794. TU: 704. EX: 755

Afraid it's not possible. Check the AMEX site for other offers to you or pick your card and do some Google searches for good offers. Some sites have links to offers you might not get.

Yes, The Ink Bold is a World Elite MC.

It's definitely a World Elite (says so in the documentation and on the card itself), and AFAIK that's how it is for everyone.

That's what I figured. I remember after I was approved for the Blue Sky card the other targeted offers disappeared online even though the physical mailer said I had several more weeks until they expired. It makes sense.
