Application Pending? Check your status online at AmericanExpress.com/Application-Status or by calling 1-800-567-1083. Sometimes, all they need is a quick verification.
Application Declined? If your Amex application was declined, you can ask for reconsideration within 30 days without a new credit check, or up to 90 days with a new one. When you call, you can ask to move credit from another Amex card or close an old card to get the new one. If they need a tax return, send what you have—it doesn't need to match your stated income.
