Weird AMEX Pre-Approval

Today I logged in to my AMEX account and instead of the usual banner promoting their prepaid card, I saw this:

I'm not a business (as far as I know). I've also never had any pre-approvals with AMEX. Furthermore, when I click on the banner, I get:

So am I pre-approved for anything, any why would it be a "business" card, or is this just another AMEX web site quirk? If I cick on that last "click here" link to view any pre-approved offers, I just end up on the normal card selector web page.

I tried it earlier today and it was behaving oddly. I had to try after restarting the browser for it to work properly. It was a different message though but along the same lines.

PenFed Platinum Cash Rewards (19.5k), Amex BCE (9k), Chase Sapphire Reserve (30k), Chase Freedom Unlimited (14.5k), Chase Marriott Premier (19k), Discover More (10k)

I get that exact same thing, I was going to look at the terms for the Gold card and I acted as if I were going to apply, so of course I logged in. After logging in, a box popped up saying I needed to call to apply, or simply fill out a regular application, so I hit continue and it gave me the same message as if I am not allowed to apply.
