Find me someone that was denied for an Amex for pulls?
Other banks as well will give the reason as too many pulls, while that's not even the reason.
U may not get denied, but your credit score definitely takes a hit for every pull... my credit score drops between 5-10 #s for every few credit card applications.

FICO?
you should take 3 points max for a each pull, and each additional one shouldn't take more if within 14-45 days. Once you hit say 5, it should have no effect on your score.
ETA: this is becoming a pet peeve of mine, FAKOs effecting peoples decisions, my FAKO took 150 points and hit low low 600s after my recent (large) AOR, while my FICO stayed nicely above 700 throughout.

How long does it take for Amex to credit a negative balance to my bank account? They are telling me that it will take 3 weeks, and that a check will be quicker.

Is that true?

Is this after the 60(90?) days for automatic, or you requested it?

Year of 50% biz came to a close end of May

Got my AF billed

If I downgrade to green that will be $95/yr, can I then upgrade back to plat if I want the 35% feature?

On the personal PL it works on the gold (free) card, I would assume it's the same on the business version.

Didn't understand your question, thought you asking if you add green AU's on PL.
