I received a letter in mail saying I was rejected citing my credit check. I did my own credit history check and it is excellent. My last Amex was about two years ago and I think I've only had two Amex cards in my whole life.
It's pretty clear what's happening hear. Amex are clamping down on people they consider churners. It's just a bit frustrating that they tell me its because of my credit history which implies I have bad credit, when in reality it's purely a business decision.
