How many AMEX cards can you get approved for in two months?

I think most of the banks have rules for how long you need to wait between card applications and a limit on how many cards you can be approved for within a given amount of time.  What are the rules for AMEX?  Say if you got two cards two months ago, can you get two more now? What has been your experiance?

Since they limit the amount of personal revolvers to 4, I will say 4.  The charge cards do not have a limit however.  In most cases, they delay processing on multiple apps for revolvers to 5 business days. 

 

Not sure why a person would want to test getting more Amex revolvers so close together because of the CLI policy.  To each is own.

I appd for bce and gold cards and waited 8 days and applied again for green card and sky miles and got auto decline on both no hp. Called and was told I had to wait 30 days from last approval date. Next day did online chat and was told same thing.

If you are declined, then there is 30 day window.

I'm trying to understand this a little better and I might be totally wrong about what you are saying...

 

 

Are you referring to 4 AMEX cards or that AMEX doesn't like you to have more than 4 CC's TOTAL (as in with anyone)?
