I was very shocked lol. It’s crazy how you got the bonus again!! I’m about to try and apply for the Amex gold or Amex Platinum again. It has been about 3 years since I had either card. I currently have the business versions of both.

Hi Mark, I'm a new subscriber to your channel! I have a 30 day past due credit card payment that has been reported to credit bureaus as Little as $13. Just wondering if you have any suggestions for me to fix this or any videos? Thanks and keep up the great work👍
There are lot of channels doing hypothetical applications, but a step by step, real application video AND a denial + reconsideration line walkthrough isn’t something I’ve come across before. Great insight.
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride Mark! I’m at my limit with AMEX as well with 5 cards so this info is super helpful for when I decide to get my next AMEX card! Congrats on the approval! Love the BCE card!
I’m a former BCP that downgraded to BCE and moved my grocery spend is exclusively to the Citi Custom Cash. Much to my surprise was the $7 Disney credit on the BCE card.
Congrats Mark! Sometimes it takes a few hoops to jump through, but I’d say you’re the king of reconsideration lines at this point!! I’ll be applying for the BBP this week, so hopefully I have similar luck in the end! Thanks for sharing your experiences as always!
I have been a customer of Amex since 2003. I have 7 credit cards (4 personal and 3 business)and 6 charge cards (3 personal and 3 business). I was denied for the special edition Delta business this summer and i closed blue business and then i was approved for it.
Same exact thing happened to me when I applied for the Aspire. I have 5 credit and 5 charge cards with them. They told me that they could close a card for me and open the Aspire but I chose to wait until the anniversary of my Hilton Honors card next month.
very thorough review. Congrats on the approval! you provided a lot of valuable data points. It seems that amex system doesn't update as quickly when determining your maximum number revolving cards if you cancel a card then apply for a new one within a short time frame.
For my marriott brilliant, i had to cancel my lowes business card. I applied first, called the recon line, then was told to pick a card to cancel. Super easy process😊
Congrats Mark since I’m Gardening I just decided to go for another Amex business card I just got the Amex Blue Business Cash offer for 500 dollars cash back and I couldn’t resist it applied and approved but sadly only got a 3K offer was expecting a higher limit but it ain’t that bad just glad I got approved👍
@@MarkReese I called Amex today to add authorized user and they said there is no sign up bonus on this card.. WTF I signed up for 75k points and 0% apr for 6 months on pay over time. The 0% is there but no bonus. I never would have gotten card if there was no bonus. You ever hear of this happening?
It's never guaranteed, but it's very likely that you'll only receive a soft pull for additional card applications after you already have a card relationship established with Amex.
@@scotthines984 I did, I also applied for 2 other amex credit cards I don't really have use for just so I could also do the 3x cli on thise and then transfer those limits to the blue cash everyday for the max credit limit amex allows on a single card which is $24000
That great info you presented in this video. I reviewed my blue cash everyday from experian base off my credits score. I was applying from there. I was planning on applying to green Amex card sometime next year I want to boost my credit score up more thanks again
I just got approved for this card through Resy a few days ago with a 20k limit (my biggest limit yet) I was shocked 😮 its my first Amex card and I was having second thoughts but this video hypes me up as I wait for the card to arrive
Data points say financial review could be triggered at 25k+ or more for total credit given through all your Amex cards. So keeping that total number at 24k or less is something to consider.
Jeffrey, I've been through this level of examination from Amex before. You could have talked your way into an additional amex card if you transfer your credit line
Congrats! But why didn’t you go for the Resy offer on the BCE? It offers the same SUB + 10% back at restaurants (up to $150 back) for the first 6 months.
@@MarkReese Oh shoot! haha no worries. I applied for the Amex Green Resy offer last year without realizing that I could have just used P2's referral and gotten more MR points instead of the restaurant statement credits. It happens to all of us!
You may be able to use the card right away, but only if you receive an instant approval online. If the application goes to 'pending' due to needing more time, and then getting an approval later, then you'll likely have to wait until you receive the card in the mail.
I recently applied for the Amex BBP and got a pending review. Two hours later I got a denial letter stating the reason for denial is being to new Amex customer which is strange bc I’ve been a customer with them. I called the recon line and they told me that they just needed to verify it was me. So idk how there system works or the difference in reasons. Verified on the phone. The lady asked if I wanted to see if I was approved now or wait for the card to arrive. Taken aback I said see if I’m approved. She said yes for 10k limit. So very strange way they determine things
Nice video as usual. When I previously applied and was denied due to having too many cards, I called AMEX, they removed 1 card (I wasn’t using) then approved me for the new card while I waited on the phone.
I have the Amex platinum. Just applied for this blue cash card.. was only giving 1k ???? 😢 that’s odd!! But no impact to my credit score thank goodness 🙏🏼
Congrats on the approval! Consider requesting a credit-limit increase later on. Here's a link to a blog post by Doctor of Credit that you may find helpful: www.doctorofcredit.com/increase-the-limit-on-your-american-express-card-by-up-to-3-times-its-starting-amount/
I don't think I've ever seen you get a instant approval lol. I want this card but I'm waiting to see if someone does 4x on online shopping. I'd only use it for online shopping
I got it as an upgrade to the cash magnet and wasn't able for a sign up bonus anyway as a new application, so I'm using it as my dedicated gas card at 3% upto 6k. I will use it for Amazon in second place behind the Amazon Chase Visa Prime card since its 5% also upto 6k.
@@MarkReese I check just in case and it looks like it is unlimited on the gas category in the Amazon chase prime card. So at least I know I’ll get 2 to 3% back and 5% on my Discover it cash back when it’s a little once a year quarterly category.
Update, I recently got the capital one savor card and that one I can use for groceries as well at 3% as well as dining. It's their version it looks like a the gold card with no grocery and dining rewards cap.
Hey Mark, I'm going to apply for this card in 2 weeks. Questions: 1. did u get a hard or soft? 2. Should i unfreeze my credits? Because i have all my 3 credit bureau frozen. Last time i applied for the green card n they were frozen n still approved me instead. So idk this time
Regardless of the card type, Amex can do a hard pull if/when they need to. That said, they often do a soft pull once you have a card relationship established.
I always post the link to my site in the video description (markscreditcards.com)👍 You can find the Amex Blue Cash Everyday on the 'Mark's Top Credit Cards' page.
Hi Mark, Really thinking hard of downgrading my blue cash preferred to this card. I love the card & 95$ a year isn't that much. But I could put my streaming services on my U.S Bank Cash+ card along with another category probably home utilities! I was just approved for the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card and I really want to put a lot of spend on that card for the 150,000 sign up bonus and just normal spend after the 6,000 for groceries, fast food including take out, gas stations. I still get 2x points after the 6k which I don't think is too bad!!! 😀😀😀😊 plus the free night every year ❤️❤️❤️! And after a year I could upgrade it the the BCP again if I wanted or take the plunge and pull the trigger on the gold card!!! I was kind of cashback guy and starting to get into travel finally!!!! Really excited for the Boundless card to arrive!! 😀😀😊🤓🤓🤓 Great video as always 🙌🙌🙌🙌 and thank you so much for your content 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏 YOU ARE GREAT TOO!!!!!!! 😃😃
You rock, thank you! Just be aware that product changes (upgrading / downgrading) means no welcome offer. Amex typically allows you to get a welcome offer only once on each card, but only if you've never had that card before. If you product change to a card that you've never had before, then that will count as "having" that card, making you ineligible from getting a bonus at that moment and also later in the future. So, it can be worthwhile to get each card you want via new application. Then, once you've "had" all the cards you need / want, you can then upgrade or downgrade freely without missing out on any new welcome offer.
So I've just crossed my 61 day threshold for the 3x credit limit increase on my blue cash everyday card but I can't find where to request a limit increase on either amex's app or website
I just did the same thing and canceled the no fee EveryDay card and I'm applying for the no fee Hilton card and got denied for same reason at being at 5 cards even though I canceled one and I'm down to 4. I'm awaiting a response.
@@MarkReese I just got the same email you did about accepting the new Hilton Honors card. I have the no fee version. I am not loyal to Hilton but it’s good to have an AMEX card with no foreign transaction fees, and good multipliers from 3X to 7X between Hilton, all the way down to groceries, gas, dining, and other purchases. I got the same $3200 limit I had on the regular every day card and they gave me the same credit limit back to me on the no fee Hilton card. Definitely a good day. I’m maxed out at five cards with AMEX again. And have one charge card in the gold card. In another year, I will probably go over the gold card and see if it’s worth keeping a second full year. I did the upgrade on August 11, 2023 from green since I wasn’t eligible for the welcome bonus, so I took the upgrade bonus and I am using it once a month on Uber eats and GrubHub when it comes to the two $10 monthly credits on gold. I have no use for platinum charge card right now. I have an international airport that actually has no lounges and is a small airport so I can’t do any centurion lounges right now.
I got declined and there was no good reason for it.... My scores are good Between 680 to 730 from all three... Sooo this is kinda insane. Amex must be like Chase near impossible to get aproved
this is honestly so much better than the Bank of America Customized Cash Rewards card, try to change my mind 😭 got approved 4 months ago with a $2,000 credit limit and increased it to $10,000. amex is honestly the best company to get credit cards from
I had around 10 inquiries on Experian and 5 inquiries on TransUnion. Didn't matter though as Amex didn't pull my credit report. Also, even if they did, Amex tends to not be very sensitive to inquiries.
Wouldn’t it be because the cancelled card still appeared as “open” on your credit report? Either way, keep us posted on how it turns out! It would’ve been perfect to use for Amazon Prine Day (if you don’t have the Amazon CC) atleast for the 3%. I have the BCP, loving the 6% on groceries 😁 that’s the only Amex I have. Good luck Mark, you’ve got this 💪🏽 I’ll be looking at your hotel videos so I can decide on my first hotel CC 😮💨
Hey Jason - up to you 👍 There's no set rule for how long to wait to get cards across different issuers. However, when getting cards from the same issuer, the banks may have their own individual rules. That said, with Amex, 3+ months is more than fine.
Thank you for the information I have 2 credit cards and 3 charge cards I tried to apply for the delta credit card it was cancel as per the rep told me because amex caps at 5 cards total I explained I thought charge cards are different from credit card’s she then stated I needed to cancel one card and I will be approved what should I do now? Please help
When i apply I always get a letter in the mail and they want me to confirm my address with a bank letterhead I've talked to both of my banks and they said they can't do that I've sent a statement proving my address they Amex still wants that letter head. Any tips?
@@MarkReese the reason it gave was due to my FICO score. I did not contact the reconsideration line because I didn’t know anything about it until watching your video. I was surprised I didn’t get it since it was an offer they sent me an offer.
Getting ⏫⏫⏫shipping price of method you want 👉LURDLOGS👈is the best thing I done online making deals with him more than 7 times is a blessing thanks for being there and legit the fraud Bible make me feel happy…🤝🤝🤝💯
Are you gonna do a unboxing video when you get the card? Also, I am surprised that you didn’t go for the blue cash preferred card. The one with the $95.00 annual fee. Just curious. I was gonna apply for this Blue Cash every day card, but instead I am going to apply for the Citi Custom Cash card. The benefits of that card will be more Beneficial to me than the Blue Cash Everyday card.
TBD about the unboxing. Didn't go for the BCP now because I didn't want another card w/ an annual fee, and I wanted to earn 3% on online shopping (and get first-hand experience using that category to answer questions people have).
*UPDATE 11.13.2022: I received the $200 statement credit welcome offer!* 🎉

I am not loyal to Hilton but it’s good to have an AMEX card with no foreign transaction fees, and good multipliers from 3X to 7X between Hilton, all the way down to groceries, gas, dining, and other purchases. I got the same $3200 limit I had on the regular every day card and they gave me the same credit limit back to me on the no fee Hilton card. Definitely a good day. I’m maxed out at five cards with AMEX again. And have one charge card in the gold card. In another year, I will probably go over the gold card and see if it’s worth keeping a second full year. I did the upgrade on August 11, 2023 from green since I wasn’t eligible for the welcome bonus, so I took the upgrade bonus and I am using it once a month on Uber eats and GrubHub when it comes to the two $10 monthly credits on gold. I have no use for platinum charge card right now. I have an international airport that actually has no lounges and is a small airport so I can’t do any centurion lounges right now.
I got declined and there was no good reason for it.... My scores are good Between 680 to 730 from all three... Sooo this is kinda insane. Amex must be like Chase near impossible to get aproved
Consider calling the reconsideration line to see if someone can turn the decision around.
@Mark Reese // Credit & Finance I may try it on Monday I know my credit is still new 7 months now but I have good scores.
Does 5 cards include business card?
Yes.
You are the man unbelievable- relentless
Boom! 😎👊💥
this is honestly so much better than the Bank of America Customized Cash Rewards card, try to change my mind 😭
got approved 4 months ago with a $2,000 credit limit and increased it to $10,000. amex is honestly the best company to get credit cards from
Congrats on the approval (and working up to that $10K limit)! 😃💳
I was denied for the Amex blue cash because I’ve opened a bank account in the past year
That doesn't make sense to me. I'd call the Amex reconsideration line to see if they can overturn the decision.
Did u sign into ur amex acc before filling your application?
Nope 🤙
Very great video thanks for all the infos
You're welcome!
Great Info. Thank you ..Mark
You're welcome, Alexis!
Mark how many inquires did you have at the time you applyed?
I had around 10 inquiries on Experian and 5 inquiries on TransUnion. Didn't matter though as Amex didn't pull my credit report. Also, even if they did, Amex tends to not be very sensitive to inquiries.
should have done the resy offer with 10% back on dining for 6 months
Agreed, but...I completely forgot about it 😆
Wouldn’t it be because the cancelled card still appeared as “open” on your credit report? Either way, keep us posted on how it turns out! It would’ve been perfect to use for Amazon Prine Day (if you don’t have the Amazon CC) atleast for the 3%. I have the BCP, loving the 6% on groceries 😁 that’s the only Amex I have. Good luck Mark, you’ve got this 💪🏽 I’ll be looking at your hotel videos so I can decide on my first hotel CC 😮💨
No you don't need to wait until your credit report updates. Great that you've got the BCP!
That was a lot to get to the credit limit
Yep 😁
Got this card last week.
Nice, congrats! 🏆
We're you eligible for the intro bonus again?
I'll be able to confirm after meeting the spend requirement.
I am kinda surprised no one is talking about the chase ink premier card going public but eh it is what it is
I may do a Community Post about it and/or a review at some point. It's quite a niche card that most people won't be interested in.
If I got my second credit card in September and my fico score is 741. Should I apply for BCE or wait a couple more months?
Hey Jason - up to you 👍 There's no set rule for how long to wait to get cards across different issuers. However, when getting cards from the same issuer, the banks may have their own individual rules. That said, with Amex, 3+ months is more than fine.
@@MarkReese Thank you just got approved for it.
@@jasongonzalez4358 - Congrats! 🌟
Thank you for the information I have 2 credit cards and 3 charge cards I tried to apply for the delta credit card it was cancel as per the rep told me because amex caps at 5 cards total I explained I thought charge cards are different from credit card’s she then stated I needed to cancel one card and I will be approved what should I do now? Please help
I'd ask another rep. And then a 3rd 👍
How can the cash back be used on this card?
Just 1 redemption option...statement credit 👍
Does Amex hard pull if you already have Amex cards?
Most likely won’t b there’s always that chance
Usually not. They can still pull if they want / need to, though.
When i apply I always get a letter in the mail and they want me to confirm my address with a bank letterhead I've talked to both of my banks and they said they can't do that I've sent a statement proving my address they Amex still wants that letter head. Any tips?
Strange. Unfortunately, I don't have any tips for that as I haven't heard of that before. I'd ask Amex directly for further clarification.
What up G! What does too many bank card accounts mean?
Too many bank card accounts = too many credit cards.
I was just approved but only got a limit of 1k wtf!!!!????
Just replied to your other comment 😃👍
@@MarkReese thank you for all your help and videos.. very helpful and thankful for all you do.
How to request another otp
For what purpose?
I received an offer from AMEX for the BCE and was not approved 😔
Bummer. What were the reasons for the denial? Did you try the reconsideration like I did?
@@MarkReese the reason it gave was due to my FICO score. I did not contact the reconsideration line because I didn’t know anything about it until watching your video. I was surprised I didn’t get it since it was an offer they sent me an offer.
@@tiffanyodean - Got it. If the application was less than 30 days ago, you could still call reconsideration.
@@MarkReese thanks. Will do
Congrats! 👍🏻
Thanks Randall! 👊
Does Amex count authorized user cards as part of their 4/5 card max?
Not that I'm aware of 👍
thanks as always.
You bet!
Any review on UBS Visa Infinite credit card?
Not yet ✌
Another great video!
Thank you! 🎬
You know my results today ~~ psyched
Party time! 💥
@@MarkReese oh yeah baby!!!!

Thanks!
That was really good stuff lol I want my credit score to be that good lol
Thanks! You can get your score up too 📈 Not difficult to do.
150000 points for the platinum. Well fuck me dead
It's a BIG one if ya see it 🏆
Good video.
Thanks!
Are you gonna do a unboxing video when you get the card? Also, I am surprised that you didn’t go for the blue cash preferred card. The one with the $95.00 annual fee. Just curious. I was gonna apply for this Blue Cash every day card, but instead I am going to apply for the Citi Custom Cash card. The benefits of that card will be more Beneficial to me than the Blue Cash Everyday card.
TBD about the unboxing. Didn't go for the BCP now because I didn't want another card w/ an annual fee, and I wanted to earn 3% on online shopping (and get first-hand experience using that category to answer questions people have).
Getting the card doesn't mean you'll receive a bonus
Correct 👍
Good video
Thanks Jon 👊
Great
🏆
Surprise you didn't take the resy offer for $200 plus $150 back
Totally forgot about it 😆
