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