Yep same offer as last time....bonus 5,000 points in addition to $250 after first qualifying purchase. Wife and I ordered another 4 cards (2 gold, 2 plat. cash rebate) using 4 different business names. Easy $1k yet again....AMEX is a great credit card bank to boot....cheers OP!
apologies if i am being dumb, but what made you choose 2 gold and 2 plat.? is the limiting factor that you don't want to apply to more than 2 AMEX cards or is the limiting factor that only the gold and plat. cards offer the $250? seems from the web page that all four cards offer the $250. am i missing something?

The other two cards have an annual fee....gold is waived and plat. cash rebate doesnt have one. These are the combos we used last time so that's why we did the same again. Easy money

These cards will never show up on your credit report. They do not affect your credit score what-so-ever. Unless you miss a payment.

They pull your report when you apply.

Thanks to both of you. I applied.

do they count the "legal business name" (i.e, your name if you don't have a TIN) as the basis in deciding whether the business is unique or do they count the name of the business on the card/type of business?

will it stack with cardoffer's link???

I hate how on the AMEX applications you can only give 20 characters for an address. What, no one has an address over 20 characters? My mail person is going to hate me for not putting down my apartment number :-\\

Did anyone get instant approval? I didn't I will check the status line tomorrow. Hopefully will have some good news!

had the same problem. They called my wife asking to confirm the address before they will send the card, because the aparment number is cut off on the address... argh!

Simple. Just call them shortly after you're approved (if instant) and have them update it. I had the same problem back when I applied for my AMEX Biz Gold card earlier this year. It's idiotic of them, though. I mean, we have the technology to allow long text fields.

That's the same message that I received. Oh well........

Was instantly approved earlier this year.
