SP if denial HP if approved

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Nevermind.  They SP first to see if you're qualified.  If so, they HP.  Correct?

Like myjourney said if you get declined it is a SP but if your approved it is a HP. Sometimes it casn slip up if your not logged in to get that perk from AMEX.

If approved for the 1st AMEX, the 2nd application will be a SP.

 

If approved for the 1st & 2nd applications, a third application would require a HP.

 

So three apps = 2 HP's & 1 SP.

That's incorrect if its not done immediately after the 1st approval. If you wait days between apps it's 2 HP's.

It also seems they dont do a new SP for new apps. They use the last pull they did. I was denied in March for a SP that was done in january when I had high util. I have to wait until whenever they soft again to get an approval.
