Would you get a different Amex if.

Hey guys,

I've been declined for the plat charge for about 2 years now, was with them previously to that.

I'm just thinking if it is worthwhile going for the Amex Explorer instead for the meantime and just apply for the Platinum Charge later on. Not saying I will get approved Amex Explorer instead, but it was refreshing to see that someone got approved for a non platinum charge after they got declined recently.

Or just hold off for another few months perhaps and try my luck again in the future.

Yes. I've just done exactly this for P2. She has been immediately rejected for the Plat Charge for a couple of years, but signed up for the QF Ultimate on a referral link (extra points). She was invited to upload docs (unlike the Plat Charge apps) and missed a call from someone at Amex today so at least they appear to be considering her application...
