Not so much the score at all. If Amex looks into the the credit history of account owner they might be concerned .... Anyways, New accounts could all be a reason for amex to be concerned to place the customer under FR.
FTFY :)

What's the connection between score and FR exactly ?

Score itself . NOTHING. AFAIK.
If known otherwise I'm open ears to learn better.

Does anyone know if there's a good chance that someone with a 670 credit score will get approved for Biz Plat, BRG and/or personal Plat or is it a waste of an app and time to even try?
Not a waste of time - people have gotten approved with much lower scores

My wife just got the Plat. Now that PGGM is dead, I understand MPX to be the best way to use the $200 airline credit. What is the transaction limit for Amazon gift cards to get the credit? Is it $50 or $100?

pggm is not dead.. jfk-tlv remains unchanged afaik... however i cant recommend doing pggm right now given what AMEX MR freezes .. probably extra scrutiny on your account.

Not that I'm complaining about this, but I have to use PGGM when NOT logged into my loyalty account, otherwise my status ruins the whole mehalech
