Why did AMEX send me this?

So I received a "corrective notice" letter from AMEX about the Blue Cash Card I applied for on July 19 2014. It's basically the same exact letter except for a change you can see below. The score used on the application was 728. Why are they sending me this? I could care less.. they denied me so thats's that.. I don't need to be reminded.

I think they're required to send out a minimum amount of mail per USPS contract.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nah, Just joshin' ya.

 

Honestly, I don't know. They've done that to the Wife a couple times when denying her a CLI on our Costco TE.

Did you recon? If so, maybe that's why they sent another? Hate you got denied with a 728. Goes to show there is more than score at play with cards. Try again before the year is out?

when i applied for their hilton hhonor card, they send me 7 denial letters all at the same time, when i applied for blue cash card, they sent 2 denial letters at the same time, i guess they really love to send out denial letters and rub it in your face the fact that you got denied.

You could have a 799 and get denied if your file is.

 

A) Short

B) Little to no recent credit usage (Debit card folks who have one CC that they use maybe once a month)

C) Too many obligations in relation to Income

D) No Income

 

I could go on for days.

Were they all the same? Because apparently this one is "corrected."
