Application rules5
- Amex 1/10
Amex allows only one bonus per specific card per lifetime. However, when a "No Lifetime Language" offer is available, it means you can receive the sign-up bonus even if you've held that card previously and already earned its bonus. These offers are rare and are usually targeted to specific individuals/businesses, either through email, physical mail, or direct application links.
- No CR
This business card will not show on your personal credit report, so it won't count against your 5/24 status.
- No 5/24
Card approval not subject to 5-personal-cards-in-24-months rule
- No 2nd Biz
You might not be allowed to get a second card for a separate business (EIN).
- Amex 3/90
You'll be declined if you apply for a fourth Amex card in 90 days.
