Re: How long to wait for succumbing AMEX?

I got the Delta gold, then only held out for 5 days before succumbing to the temptation to app for the BCE. Approved.

Re: How long to wait for 2nd AMEX?

Within a week of getting approved for my PRG I decided to go ahead and applied for the BCE thinking just one hp for both app since I got approved for the PRG just a week apart, and well I got approved for the BCE too. So you don't necessarily have to wait too long.

Re: How long to wait for 2nd AMEX?

I applied for Blue Sky on Jan. 2 and then applied for BCE 3 weeks later....approved for both. The csr told me that people do it all the time because of the different rewards so it was no big deal. The reason she said that is because I asked if it was ok before I put in the app.

Re: How long to wait for 2nd AMEX?

I have a questions related to this. I got approved on a single pull from EX only for the Green charge on the 22nd of this month. If i went and applied for a revolver and got denied, will it be a SP only? or will it be another set of HP or HPs for the revolver if denied anyways? I know if i get approved it will be HP. I just wanna make sure i dont get HP all over again for either approval or denial.

Re: How long to wait for 2nd AMEX?

If your profile is strong enough to qualify for AmEX revolver  you dont have to wait, if it is not wait 3 - 6 months to generate some history. I was approved for 3 AmEX cards in a space of few days last month.
