Seems like this whole dummy code thing is a glitch as a lot of legitimate apps are getting this as well

That's what I'm thinking as well.

DW just applied for gold biz instant approval and Delta gold biz pending further review. she recently got approved for both spg cards- any chance of getting approved for the delta gold? should i call recon? i know they usually dont approve more than 2 lending cards in 90 days.

No. Amex does not allow more than 2 credit cards within 90 days.

I applied for 3 amex credit cards in one day and was auto approved for 1, the other 2 was a quick call just to confirm some info. I had no trouble at all...

finally got a letter in the mail saying that I need to fill out a 4506t to prove income. is this normal for a new amex account? Is there any recourse around this? I cant prove all that income, because household income is included, and I'm not interested in giving amex my tax returns

I've seen cancelled applications many times, either they cancel because there was a previous application which wasn't approved so they don't even bother pulling a second time, or they're missing certain information, such as correct address matching your credit report. call the new accounts department and ask what the problem is

I'm just warning you, though, they can really make you jump through hoops at the new accounts department and you're not guaranteed anything, especially if you're a brand new member
