I’m pretty sure I didnt get accepted on the spot… (Maybe I missed it but I dont think so… – what was I supposed to see).
I applied for the no annual fee one, no TIN, made up a business name..
is it harder to get approved for the charge cards than the regular credit cards??
applied for delta and biz platinum so far. did not get approved instantly even though i have a couple of amex cards already (though not biz cards).
I applied for all 4-even though i currently have 3 of them-with my ssn as my tid.
No instant approvals.
Wish me luck!
do you have to apply for each one under a different business name? cuz i saw something like that on the bottom of the page in middle of applying.
I usually always get approved instnatly.
Not this time.
I wonder why.
Last year when they did this, i applied for the same card twice (for 2 seperate businesses). They canceled one of the applications.
I did see on the bottom that the 250 dollar bonus is for each unique business.
I dont recommend applying for all of them at once, if you werent approved instantly for one, wait until you find out what the answer is (hopefully approved) before you apply again.
I wasnt approved instantly, although 2 weeks ago i got the starwood card instantly with 37,000 credit limit. Maybe thats why.
The problem with waiting is that by the time you find out if you are approved the offer may be dead…
i hear that.
I am waiting a day, then checking the status online before applying again.
I hope it will still be live tomorrow.
Instant Approval – most likely because I have a real company w/tax ID.

Which card did you get instantly approved for?
To Anon 9:23AM,
I’ve a real business with Tax ID in existence for the past 6 years and I also have 3 personal cards from AmEx in good standing. Despite this – No Instant Approval!!!
PS Applied approximately 24 Hours ago.

any news yet anyone?
this stuff is dishonest
how is it dishonest?
Amex is offering $250 to open a card, and people are opening them.
dan ignore anon 4:06
hes a moron
and if he doesnt want it he doesnt need to get it
I applied for all 4, and have gotten approved for 2, the Sky Miles, and the Gold Reward.
Now let’s see if I get the $500.00
i called them on tuesday and they told me they never recieved my application (i applied last monday) and they said to apply again
so i did for two of them i have been excepted for the gold the next day
I applied this past wednesday, then I kept checking the link, and they couldn’t find it, then when I checked this morning (friday) it says….APPROVED!!!
(I applied for the Premium Cash Rebate Credit Card)
APPLIED AND DIDNT GET APPROVED SAME DAY BUT THEY APPROVED ME THE NEXT DAY. MADE UP BUISNESS NAME AND LEFT THE TAX ID FEILD EMPTY.
Dear Dan
i live out of the us
what is the best cc to use
still get the miles/points…
most places dont take amex
charge the least for currency conversion
Thanks
ii applied last week, and i cant even check my status online. no response at all.
I applied twice…. waited a few days after the second time… nothing… called em up… nothing… they told me to apply a third time… we’ll c what happens…
I applied once for the business platinum card after this was reposted and they just called me today to tell me I was approved
I did not enter a tax id.
for furthur quistions he said I can call him back at 800 827-0873 and he commented that there are only 10 people working in this department so if you call twice you may speak to the same person.
pit fan
PS I just applied for the other 3 cards we’ll see what happens
The first time I applied it got lost…
I applied a second time for the gold charge and the platinum credit and got approved right away on both, although that could be because I already have two amex’s.
Thanks Dan
i applied for two of the cards. When I called in to check the status of the application they did not have any record of me applying. Waist of time
I applied for all 4 cards, first two times didnt work. After applying a third time, they needed to verify by business, so they called my bank while I was on the line and verified. All approved but… I received my cards, made a $1 purchase on each and I got the $249 credit on all cards EXCEPT the gold rewards card. I called them and they told me there was no promo on that card. I told them that it was on the same site but they wanted proof or a promo number (which I obviously do not have). What shall I do Dan my man to claim my $250 credit???????
