You might want to have a year of credit history under your belt before you go and try for AMEX

I was just denied the blue cash rewards card.

Reasons:
Insufficient utilization information
too few established accounts-length of time accounts have been established.


Can I reapply online for the green card without a second hard pull or should i just give up for now until my cap1 card can show some history for 6 months.

AMEX likes 2 years of history minimum

Not necessarily, I guess it's all about banks being flexible sometimes...
