Application Tips
Get the best results with each application

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.

Thinking About 2 Cards? You can only get approved for up to - and including- 5 Amex credit cards (including personal and business), but this rule isn’t always enforced (please note the total of 5 credit cards excludes some Amex cards that are No Preset Spending Limit* cards like the Amex Platinum, Amex Gold, etc)

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. A bank statement might work too.

Approval Rules: American Express follows a maximum of 2 card approvals within 90 days, known as the 2/90 Rule. You can hold up to 5 credit cards, excluding No Preset Spending Limit cards, with a limit of 10 such cards. Additionally, you are allowed one Platinum variant every 90 days.

Getting your card
Quickest way to get my card: Amex will sometimes give you an instant credit card number after approval, but not always. Amex physical credit cards cannot be expedited (except for the platinum cards) and will arrive after 5-7 business days
Rescore your report: To update your balance off-cycle, call 1-800-874-2717. The update will take up to 5 business days.

When applying for a new credit card, keep your balances below 10% of your limit on each existing card. Pay down balances and wait for each card's closing date, avoiding new charges. Some banks let you update balances anytime by phone, and Chase will automatically report a $0 balance after payment.

Considerations

The American Express Blue Cash Everyday® card is a popular choice for everyday spending, offering various perks and rewards. However, there are a few drawbacks to consider:

  1. Limited Reward Categories: Mainly rewards groceries, gas, and department store purchases, which may not suit everyone.
  2. Foreign Transaction Fees: Charges a 2.7% fee on purchases made abroad.
  3. Lower Reward Rates: Other cards may offer higher cashback percentages in similar or more diverse categories.
  4. High APR: The interest rate can be high depending on creditworthiness, which is costly if carrying a balance.
  5. Cash Back Redemption Restrictions: Cashback can only be redeemed in certain increments, limiting flexibility.
  6. Potential Annual Fee Changes: While there's no annual fee initially, watch for possible changes or added fees in subsequent years.

Consider these points to determine if the American Express Blue Cash Everyday® card aligns with your spending habits and financial goals.

Can I shift a credit limit from a card held by my partner to one of my cards if we are part of the same business?
No, you cannot transfer credit limits between different individuals' accounts, even if they are within the same business.
What is the minimum remaining credit limit required to transfer balances between Amex cards without being declined?
You must leave a minimum of $1,000 on the card you are transferring from if you want to keep both cards open.
I paid my balance and it no longer shows on my credit report but I still got denied for an Amex card due to a high balance. How can that be?
For existing customers, Amex doesn’t usually pull a new credit report. They base the decision on a credit report they get through the monthly soft pull they do for all cardholders, which can be up to 30 days ago. Unfortunately, there is no way to get Amex to pull a new report. On the letter you receive from Amex, it will tell you which date the report was pulled. I would advise you to reapply 30 days later.
