AMEX is 18 - but if you're a churner they will turn you down regardless of income.

You can always attach the 'closure notice' as a supporting document so if they see it on the credit file, they can see it's been closed.

I also received my 50k today hitting status mid April. Takes a while but worth it for a zero fee card.

Yup, saddle and tempt you with debt, hope you miss a repayment or are made redundant so they can get that sweet 24% interest

They send you a physical rejection letter, so you've probably been rejected

I think you also get more luck if you let AMEX choose the limit. Myself and other that choose a sub 10K limit seemed to be rejected.
