Application rules6
- 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.
- Amex 3/90
You'll be declined if you apply for a fourth Amex card in 90 days.
- No 2nd Biz
You might not be allowed to get a second card for a separate business (EIN).
- No 5/24
Card approval not subject to 5-personal-cards-in-24-months rule
- No CR
This business card will not show on your personal credit report, so it won't count against your 5/24 status.
- Amex Family
Amex will most likely disqualify you from receiving the welcome offer on lower-tier cards if you've previously held the higher-tier cards within the same card family. Note: The rule doesn't apply to business cards but if they apply it in the future, it'll be retroactive, and you won't be able to get lower card bonuses if you have a higher bonus card.
