Issuer Rules

Rules: American Express enforces a 'one welcome bonus per card per lifetime' rule, meaning applicants are generally ineligible for a welcome bonus if they have ever held this specific card before. A maximum of two American Express credit card applications are permitted within any 90-day period. Eligibility typically requires a good to excellent credit score, a stable income, and meeting Amex's internal underwriting criteria.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending, bust-out fraud, sudden and significant changes in spending patterns inconsistent with historical behavior, excessive credit cycling, high cumulative credit limits across Amex cards, applying for too many cards in a short period (even if within Amex's 2/90 rule but indicative of risk), defaulting on payments, or engaging in activities deemed abusive of card benefits.
