I am a new amex cardholder. I actually have two new accounts green rewards and Delta Skymiles Gold. How long do you think I should wait to request CLI on the Gold Delta and/or apply for a new card from them? Should I just wait for them to send me an offer? I want the Blue card.
Thanks

Push the luv button and see what you get. If you get the form I would wait a month and try again, unless you want another hard inquiry on your report.

With that said, becareful with the applications to AmEx. I’ve read about a few people receiving the dreaded F/R (Financial Review). Enjoy the cards you have for a while and develope a relationship with AmEx before you go applying for more cards.
