If your income and credit rating can support, don't see why they'd reject it. Keep in mind the spend minimums. Personally, I would space them out so I don't take so many credit checks in such a short time.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but here goes.
There are 3 Amex cards that I am interested in. One that gives 30K Aeroplan points, another that gives 21K Starpoints, and still another that gives 25K MR points. If I applied for all 3 cards is it possible to get 3 cards or would Amex only approve the 1st application and decline the rest?

Thanks for the answers. Now that I know it is possible to have more than one Amex card, I think I will time the cards and apply for one at a time. Also great info on the Churning Amex in Canada thread. I didn't realize cancelling and reapplying (after certain amount of time) to get bonus points again was possible. But I think I will give that a try also. Thanks for the help.

Yes. In my experience, AMEX will decline you after they approve the first card and you will be forced to wait anyways for 3 months since you get auto-declined if you have already been declined.

Most recently with SPG personal and business Gold. They weren't auto approved -- I just had to verbally confirm my occupation and income over the phone.

Although the perks of the BMO elite card with its priority passes and 2% effective return are great and probably the best now for cash back cards, hard to justify keeping it at $150.

Is this a hard constraint? I have routinely applied for 2 Amexes in the same day and have not had a problem. Is this new?

I don't think so. I applied for 3 Amex cards on the same day. I didn't use any browser trick or anything special. The first card was approved instantly and then I had to call for the other two, but in the end I didn't have any problem getting 3 personal Amex cards.

Must all the cards be applied on the same day? What about a week later, or a month later? Will those be approved?
