Apply with confidence!

• See if you’ll be approved before you apply – with no impact to your credit score.*
• When applying for a new card, businesses will typically run a “hard check” of your credit report. A hard credit check can cause a temporary impact to your credit score.
• Unlike many lenders, for American Express’ personal cards, you can see if you will be approved before you apply without impacting your credit score
• A soft credit check is a check into your credit report initiated either by you or a company even if you didn’t apply for credit. It is primarily used to screen for pre-approval financing offers or for a background check
• Available for American Express personal cards, we’ll let you know your eligibility with no impact to your credit score, so you can submit your application with confidence.*

*Instant decisions are only available for Consumer (also known as Personal) Card applications.
