Yes, but this time was not instantly approved, I got the message to call in.  CSR asked my birthday and SSN. Then I got my card today.

Thank you so much!

I googled about the AMEX call in, it seems they usually already approved you but they need SSN and DOB verification. When I submitted the application, I saw the EX hp was already generated(Based on normal circumstances, I think a new HP means approval). I then called in, the nice lady just asked the SSN, and she offered the expedite handling. People say AMEX new card department call center is in Inida, now I don't doubt it.

Sounds like a good plan OP... Congrats!  At the end of the day, even with 2 HPs, you were still approved... well worth it IMO.
