Hey guys!

I have a question that I’ve received mixed answers on and hoping to get some clarity.

I’m considering an Amex charge card and credit card (in Australia). If I was to apply for both, on the same day, at almost the same time; does this only result in one soft pull and subsequently one hard pull if both get approved and accepted?

Secondly, does Amex give a cough if I was to do this these days? I’ve never churned credit card and this will be first instance dealing with Amex.
