Issuer Rules

Rules: American Express generally offers one welcome bonus per card product per 'lifetime' (typically interpreted as 7 years since receiving a bonus for that specific product or a related product within the same family). Applicants are subject to a maximum of 2 credit card approvals within a 90-day period. Eligibility also requires applicants to be 18 years or older, a US resident, have a good credit history, and not have too many existing Amex credit cards.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: 3-6 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending, high cumulative credit limit across Amex cards, rapid application for multiple cards, abuse of return policies, not paying bills on time, pattern of opening cards for bonuses and quickly closing them (churning), suspicious spending patterns inconsistent with income/history.
