Before you apply: American Express rules
All issuer rules →
Amex will usually approve you, then refuse the bonus. Almost every rule here is about welcome offer eligibility rather than approval.
The eligibility check before the credit pullAmex tells you partway through the application whether you qualify for the welcome offer, before it pulls your credit.

A notice can appear mid-application saying you are not eligible for the advertised welcome offer, usually because you have held that card before. It shows up before the credit check, so you can abandon the application at that point with no hard pull and no score impact. If no notice appears, that is generally read as a sign you are eligible, though it is not a written guarantee.

One card per 5 days, two per 90 daysUnconfirmedAmex approves about one new credit card in any 5 days and no more than two in any 90 days.

Community-observed rather than published by Amex. Personal and business credit cards share the same count for both windows. Charge cards with no preset spending limit, meaning Platinum, Gold, Green and their business versions, are generally treated as outside both counts, which is why a charge card sometimes goes through when a credit card application would not.

No lifetime language offersUnconfirmedSome targeted offers leave out the lifetime restriction wording, which can let a past cardholder earn the bonus again.

No lifetime language, usually shortened to NLL, is community shorthand rather than an Amex term. It describes an offer whose fine print omits the usual clause about having or having had the card. Because the once per lifetime rule is enforced through that exact wording, its absence can mean a repeat bonus is possible, but nothing guarantees it. These offers appear as targeted mailers and account pop-ups, sometimes as links passed around publicly, and they come and go.
