I currently have 5 Amex cards so I understand I will need to give up at least one of those cards in order to get approved for new ones. What's the best strategy here?
1. Proactively close one of the cards. Wait X number of days, then apply for the new card I want
2. Apply for the card I want, then call reconsideration line and offer to close an existing card in exchange for an approval
Anyone with experience here?
