Go for 6-bm next.

How is this even possible with amex? I did a Delta personal and Business last week and although instant approval on the Business, the second personal app was deferred because they claim their system recognizes and halts the second app submitted. I used different browsers and cleared all cache and cookies before and after each app. Two reps told me the same thing. And they both said I would need to have another pull.

What's so good about the Delta Gold that you keep applying for it?

No instant approvals? You had to call on all four?

You have a future in politics. Post news on a Friday and then disappear so you don’t have to answer any questions.  :P

How many days do you have to wait before applying with Amex again? I did a 3BM on July 10th

Would you be willing to pull a hard copy of your EX report to see how the inquire was coded. This seems to be the coding for business and personal inquires. I would like to see if yours is the same.

1st 3 were approved without any calling on Friday.

The last one I got a VM to call in.  Called in, the offshore guy asked to verify my address, I asked how his week was going, he said he gets off in 3 hours and 15 minutes, and I asked if he worked on the weekend, he said he never does and deletes the emails requesting weekend overtime, we chat some more, he admits to enjoying a good smoke and bourbon, we kid around some more, and then he says I'm approved, enjoy your SPG consumer card.

None, Approvals came through within a few days

Good to see that the banks employ only the smartest :)

I'm confused. Wouldn't such activity be a likely trigger for a FR?

It's possible.  Don't do it if you make nothing on the books.
