Strategy to obtain US Amex

My first card I was able to get through after 4 calls - I feel they are really wanting everyone that is not easy to just present to branch - from their POV I am sure that is the easiest - unfortunately not for us - good luck
Finally got through to someone who has hopefully steered me in the right direction. They have requested a manual processing of the application.
 
Oh wow I might try again tonight - just pot luck who you get?
I said I’m traveling overseas and have no option to present in branch, requested to speak to a supervisor and the lady spoke to a supervisor herself. Came back and said she will request a manual approval. The previous agents didn’t leave any options but to present in branch
 
The SUB rules for Marriott cards seems to be complicated. I have seen the matrix on Frequent Miler.

So I guess there is a short window where we can get bonuses on both the Amex Marriott Biz card and then the Chase Bonvoy Boundless, as long as we don't hit the spend for the Amex Marriott Biz bonus within 3-4 months.
