I’m all for doing due diligence before applying for a new Amex card. But keep in mind that Amex (and any other bank) has the final say, and sometimes credit card denials can come as an unfortunate shock. In these cases, you can always call up Amex personal credit reconsideration at 877-399-3083. Sometimes they’re just looking for a little more information that could help boost your chances of approval.
You also need to make sure you’re adhering to Amex’s application rules, including how frequently you can apply for new credit cards. Remember, Amex only allows you to earn the bonus on a specific card once, per person, per lifetime.
And sometimes you might not be eligible for a given card’s welcome bonus depending on what credit cards you’ve applied for and held in the past. Because of this, I recommend you read our full review of each of the below cards before deciding whether or not to apply.
If you do choose to sign up for any of the above cards, best of luck in your application process and may the approval odds be ever in your favor. We’ve also covered the minimum credit scores you would need to be approved for Chase credit cards.
