AMEX Application Process Failures + Contact

[MelbFlyer]

I think given their rejection and lots of own experience posts in this thread - I won't be considering AMEX at all moving forward.

100k bonus QFF points is good, but with a high annual fee (even despite a $450 travel credit to "offset") and limited places to spend on - some places accept only Mastercard or VISA, it's probably not worth it.

My BoM card "only" awards 60k bonus QFF points after $3k of eligible spend (same as the Qantas AMEX one), but with a much lower annual fee and most importantly, got approved and wasn't rejected for no good reason.

Mrs sudoer just received her QF Ultimate rejection letter with the same credit reporting line.

She's closed 3 cards in the last 12 months and has one open. 900+ Equifax/Experian, and explicitly requested a 5k limit.

Looks like they're cracking down on the partner's off AFF members

Thought I'd add my experience to here as well.

Applied for an AMEX QF Ultimate and also got a rejection letter with the credit line people have mentioned already here.

I haven't had an AMEX in 4+ years, 1 closed card in the last 12 months and with a score of 1000+.

Probably won't be trying this again until there's evidence the success rate changes overall.
