Has anyone applied for a card tonight? My app still says "submitting", and it's been over an hour!

It's possible your computer froze. Try application status

Probably to confirm your identity,
IME they approved me for one and gave me that message for the other one, 
When I called they told me that they will have to delay the second app for 3-5 days.
what do you mean.
If I don't call will everything go through or not?

The computer seems to be working, but who knows.

App status = link or phone call?

Thanks!

update:
Weird! It says "in progress". The application now says "session has timed out".

Does that mean we have to wait for an email answer?

No - they were nervous enough to get 1 new card :). Only did 1 AU. Might change my mind within the next week though!

A canceled a Delta Plat on 11/4.  I called tonight to reinstate.  The lady took info like a new app, then said decission will be mailed in 7-10.  Is that going to be a pull?

Maybe ask Amex? (why didn't you ask when you called to reinstate?)

A little off topic, but didn't want to start a new thread.
I read somewhere online that AMEX won't give any new cards or CLI's if you have a returned payment withing the last 6 months.
Can anyone confirm if this is true of false?

I don't know the answer to your question, but here's where we'll find out if I'm right about new threads :)
