I already have an active consumer and business Starwood cards. Applied for the consumer and got this response after 5 days:
"Regrettably, we are canceling this application. You currently have the maximum number and type of American Express products we allow."
maximum?
I got the same during last year's bonus when I applied for my father. He had 6 active Amex accounts with him as primary account holder at the time.
Would you mind sharing with us how many active Amex accounts you have? (Obviously if you feel it's too personal, feel free not to answer!)
Anyone else want to share how many accounts they had when getting such a notice?
Also, FWIW I recall they wrote that such a decision did NOT result in a hard pull...
