Before you apply

American Express’s application rules, as reported by people who applied. Banks don’t publish most of these. All banks’ rules

2/90 Firm rule

No more than two new Amex credit cards in a 90-day span. Charge cards such as Platinum, Gold and Green are left out of the count. A third credit card application within 90 days is usually turned down.

1/5 Soft rule

One new Amex credit card every 5 days at most. A second application within 5 days usually sits in pending until the 5 days are up.

5 credit cards Firm rule

You can usually have up to 5 Amex credit cards open at the same time. Charge cards are separate. With 5 open, new Amex credit cards get declined. Closing or downgrading one frees a spot.

Never miss one of these credits

Add the Business Platinum to Premium IC, our free app. It lists each credit with a checkbox, reminds you before they expire and shows whether the card earned its fee. Free.
