Re: Closing Amex Card After 2 Months. Bad Move?

I did this once. Amex didn’t take any AA and have even given me CLIs on my remaining card since. However, on various other cards, I’ve been told that I may not be eligible for the SUB. I haven’t tried apping for anything else with Amex, so I don’t know if that’s still the case or not.

Re: Closing Amex Card After 2 Months. Bad Move?

Yeah definitely don’t do this. I was approved for a BCE last year and immediately canceled it because they gave me a $1K limit. Now I get the pop up for no SUB for a card I canceled within 30 minutes of being approved for, all of my prequals disappeared, and I was denied the card in January with a higher score than when I was approved in March of last year. 

 

Amex definitely doesn’t like people who close accounts early.
