Why was my Amex Delta Platinum Business Credit Card application denied?
Your Amex Delta Platinum Business Credit Card application may have been denied for various reasons, such as a low credit score, not enough disposable income, or too much debt. You should receive a letter from American Express explaining the exact reason for the denial.
If you feel your application deserves a second look, you can call American Express to ask for reconsideration. However, you're only likely to succeed if you can prove your credit and/or income are significantly better than they appeared on your application.

- Credit score is too low
