AMEX rejection

[KingHuang]

Hi just wanna share My experience. No issue with credit score, income etc. After more than 18mths since closing Amex Velocity :
Feb 2024: closed CBA , then Applied and got granted ANZ
April 24: applied for Amex Explorer - rejected
June 24: applied for Wstpac - granted
Oct 24: closed AnZ then straightaway applied for AMEX Platinum personal - rejected

The next day, I applied for Amex Plat Business. Waited 4 business days before receiving an email from an actual person saying there was issue with ABN details etc. I called them the next day on business line and the staff helping me basically went above and beyond to show they really wanted me as cus LOL. ABN issue sorted, pretty much instant approval without having to provide any docs.

I think i read a few times in this thread for the biz plat, no documents including tax statements/revenue at all?

So anyone with an ABN can get an Amex Business card without docs? This seems very reckless.

No expert but I guess the fact that it's a Charge rather than credit card, mitigates somewhat

Guess it cant hurt to ask - expired ABN OK?

The card is held in personal name/responsibility though, not business. So no risk really.
