Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer
You can hold up to 5 cards from this issuer simultaneously.
Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending, high cumulative credit limit across Amex products, rapid application for multiple cards (churning), suspicious transaction patterns, defaulting on payments, or applying for credit while in financial distress.
Cliff Effect Rules
The primary 'cliff' is the 'one welcome bonus per lifetime' rule for this specific card. While not a strict 'family rule' across all Delta cards, Amex may deny a welcome bonus if you have or have had certain similar Amex products, or if you have received too many Amex welcome bonuses in a short period, based on internal eligibility criteria.
International Friendly
This card works well for international travel and transactions.
Additional Issuer Rules
Applicants must be 18 years or older, a U.S. resident, have a valid Social Security Number, and possess good to excellent credit history. Amex enforces a 'one welcome bonus per card per lifetime' rule for this specific product. Additionally, American Express generally limits new credit card approvals to a maximum of two within a 90-day period (the 2/90 rule).
