Any recent credit card 2BM’s experience with amex?  In my experience  only charge cards get  instant approved and credit cards get a hold for the 2nd application :-[
I did a 3bm: Delta Gold, PRG, and SPG. The Delta and PRG got instant approvals, while the SPG was pending. It was approved less than a week later without me doing anything, but it resulted in a second pull.

Similar Experience.

I actually called in the interim, and the rep told me that with regards to credit cards (as opposed to charge cards), the system is now set up to "space" multiple applications out, where each additional is automatically pending for several days after the prior application is approved.
Sounds like AMEX "anti-2BM/3BM/4BM" is here.
Which would explain this:

Is there anyway to get back the $195 fee on the platinum delta? Cancel in first 2 month? Get back part of money? Downgrade the card?
Thanks

1. Don't know, but they were done at the same time and approved the next day, so i would assume 1 (Also, i live in NY and they pull from my least used CS which is TU, i believe).. How do i check and is it free??

2. These are my first Barclay cards.

I've asked and was told that they are considered 2 separate products.
Still, YMMV until we hear firsthand reports.
I applied in Sep 2012 for both the gold and platinum delta cards (gold 70k and plat 50k).

I got the points on the gold but did not get them on the plat b/c they were considered the same product.

They gave me 25k as compensation and I closed the plat card (so as not to pay the $150 annual fee).

so if one had the gold he is inalienable for delta plt bonus   >:(

Was this escalated or reviewed? Or was it all done in one phone call?

That's a lot of compensation for something they are CLAIMING YOU SHOULDN'T get in the first place. I'm thinking maybe they took the easy way out..  :-\

does any purchase trigger the statement credit? i.e. $5 drink and you get the whole $50 or $100 SC?
Or do you have statement credits up to $50/$100?

Any ideas? Gift cards?
