Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer

You can hold up to 5 cards from this issuer simultaneously.

Shutdown Risk Triggers

Manufactured spending (MS), bust-out fraud, high cumulative credit limit across Amex cards, sudden large spending on new cards without a clear pattern, not paying bills on time, excessive credit seeking (multiple applications in short periods), cycling credit limits, unusual spending patterns inconsistent with historical behavior, frequent balance transfers from other issuers, or suspected reselling activities.

Cliff Effect Rules

This card's welcome bonus is typically independent of other Amex card family rules (e.g., Platinum, Gold) for bonus eligibility, as it's a co-branded store card. However, it is subject to the general Amex lifetime bonus rule for this specific product. Overall Amex application limits (e.g., 2/90 rule) still apply.

International Friendly

May have limitations for international use.

Additional Issuer Rules

Welcome Bonus Rule: One welcome bonus per card per lifetime. Application Rule: Max 2 credit card approvals every 90 days (Amex 2/90 rule). Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must be 18 years or older, possess a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), and demonstrate good to excellent credit history (typically FICO score of 670+).
