AMEX rejection

A data point: it asked for my expenses, but then got the 5-10 day email. I was not asked for payslips. So not holding out any hope

I've likely been rejected for the Essential Rewards card. Last held an Amex Qantas Premium card in 2020/2021, but have since churned 9 big 4 cards since closing that card. Applied Monday, no expenses requested. 5-10 day email straight away and no follow up since. How frustrating...
 
Data point: was expecting a rejection on the QF Ultimate but was approved.

Application submitted lunch time today - was required to input salary, expenses, mortgage payments, other card limits etc. Post submission received two emails, the 2-5 day email and the request to provide payslips at the same time. The application screen also reverted to the document upload screen after submission. An SMS was received a few seconds before the email came through. The SMS advised to check my email for the information request. I submitted the payslips straight after and was approved an hour ago.

No AMEX held for over 4 years, though was auto declined for this same card in December 2023 (probably as the previous AMEX I held onto was for only a month).
