Yes, you can apply for two American Express cards at the same time, but only if one is a credit card and the other one is a charge card. There are some guidelines to keep in mind regarding the limits on applications approval.
American Express Credit Card Applications Rules
- 1 in 5 Rule: You can only be approved for one credit card within a five-day period. However, this rule doesn't apply to charge cards, meaning you can apply for one credit card and multiple charge cards on the same day without any issue.
