amex dummy code

I applied for the AMEX biz platinum card and several minutes the consumer Brilliant Marriot card.
Got instant approval for biz and the wait for 14 days for the consumer card.

I called to see if they needed any info from me so called 1-877-239-3491 and was told system is down and even customer service won't have access to my status info.

I then checked application online.

the one for AMEX biz showed up as Dummy for the code ...what does this mean? it was a 150k offer emailed to me

Is there another phone number I can call to inquire about my Brilliant Marriot or just leave it alone and wait it out.

I have not applied for any credit card over 24 months and I only have 2 from AMEX...

under status of application, instead of Amex Business Platinum card, it states Dummy whereas for my Marriott Bonvoy, it would state that.

BTW, called the new account application number and got approved for the Marriott Bonvoy so 2 application and 2 approvals

I don't think it's anything to worry about. I don't know what the dummy code is, but it showed on my biz plat apps status from earlier this year (still shows dummy code now while my other amex apps have the correct card name shown). I did get the card and bonus with no issues.

thanks....I couldn't resist the temptation of 150k Bonus for the biz platinum.....

was fortunate I got approved...I had input 1k for annual revenue as it did not allow me to write zero..also only stated I had " Other" for business for less than a year...didn't know what to write how much I needed a month so just wrote 1k.....First biz card from AMEX
DC9 and Littlehamsterz like this.
