You complied. Everything should be okay. 

 

Just be careful next time, and try not to get one too many credit cards form a single lender at one time.

Hey - I'm scared myself. I applied for Hilton and SPG last week, approved for Hilton, got "pending" on SPG (still pending), then for whatever silly reason applied - but got APPROVED! - for business Platinum Amex. 

 

I received my Hilton card today and have activated it and used it a couple times, but I am afraid of getting a similar call! 

 

I'll be happy when the Platinum is in my hand, activated....

Looks that way doesn't it 

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?

The Platinum is no different (for approval) than the Green or Gold, so being approved doesn't mean that they paid extra attention to the app or anything. 

 

But what does surprise people is the left-hand/right-hand nature of a lot of the issuers, where one side approves you for a bunch of cards and then the risk analysis/security group steps in and wants more information.  This raises the question "Why did you approve me in the first place then?", with the answer that the "they" who approved you is not the same "they" as the group with questions!

Re: amex financial review even before i receive my approved credit cards!

When did you apply? In what order? Did you receive any of them yet? How long after application did they call you?

 

Sorry for all the questions, but I am very curious...
