Quick Question: I got a pending status when I applied over the phone. Should I call the recon line right away or wait it out? What has been peoples experience regarding this? If this isn't the right forum for this then please direct me to the correct one. Also if you have the recon phone number that would be appreciated! -Thanks

This is because American Express regards you, not the company, as the cardholder. The card is approved based on your personal credit, it is issued in your name (plus a company name), you are personally responsible for the debt, and while this card is open you will not be eligible for another bonus for the same card type, even if the application is submitted with a different company name.
