It seems to have all been merged into a "master thread".

Got declined with following reason:

"The reason for our decision is that you have reached the maximum number and type of Cards that we will approve within the period of a few months. Please know that your prior application(s) has been approved and your Card has been sent to you. If you have not already done so, you can confirm you have received your Card at americanexpress.com/confirmcard or by calling the phone number on the back of your Card. You may then use your Card immediately and start enjoying the benefits of Card Membership."

Had 4 cards approved within less than 2 months. Whats the official max - 4 cards within 3 months?

I got this a couple of weeks ago after 5 approved cards and have seen a couple of people writing this lately. Seems like it's starting to become a trend...

Mileagex purchase on plat card posted May 4th. Still no credit... Never had a problem before. Anything I can do?
Ok. Just realized that I never changed my airline to United!!! Talk about dumb mistakes... If I change it now(several days after the purchase) will it pick it up? Any ideas?

Interesting, my limit was 4 cards. And how long was the time frame between your first approval and your rejection? It was less than two months for me.

What is the guest policy?
Centurion® Members and Platinum Card® Members who receive complimentary access may enter with up to two guests or immediate family (spouse or domestic partner, and children under 18) at no additional charge. Family and guests may not enter or remain in the lounge unless accompanied in the lounge by the Card Member.
If you purchase a one-day pass, your children under 18 may accompany you at no additional charge. You must purchase a one-day pass for any additional guests.

Maybe that's why it doesn't work
For me personally those tricks worked... Although many others have the same or similar issues with app...

I believe as much as you buy, that's how much credit you will get.
