In this video we show you a few ways to beat the dreaded Amex pop up in 2021. The pop is American Express’s way of preventing churning, you get it if you are not eligible for a welcome bonus.

– The good: Amex Pop Up prevents us from opening a new account without a bonus.
– The bad: We want instant approvals for all cards all the time (with the bonus) 😂
One way to get around this is to apply while logged in where it auto-fills most of your info VS applying while incognito or indirectly, you may have to settle for a lower bonus but you will get the card
Wow they really gave me the popup for the gold months later after getting literally just 1 card
I know the channel is known for having no original content, but at least summarize and paraphrase instead of just reading out random person's reddit post.
What about just removing the pop-up in the code? 🤪
I actually got a 5th Amex credit card ( not charge card ) this year. I can confirm for myself you can have 5 Amex credit cards now. My last was a Amex business Marriott.
Just a data point. I received a 5th credit card since the internets reported a 4 card limit. (3/21 and again in 6/21).
If you have an authorized user on a card i wonder if inactivity from them also determines pop up jail or not.
Awesome info!
I got the pop up and I don’t spend much on any card except gold person card. This I applied for Hilton business card got approved. I had it for awhile
Thank you as always.
My way out of pop-up jail was putting 600$-$800 spend on my Amex everyday card (I became too chase oriented) and it worked for me after two months. Hilton aspire was the card. So in my personal experience putting more spend on the card did the trick. Not too much, just enough to show them you’re an active user.
I'm currently in AmEx pop jail and have been the last 6 months. I'm just going to give AmEx a break for the next year, lol.
How many credit cards do you have? And how many credit cards would you safely recommend for someone with certain incomes, such and 40k, 50k, etc?
Got Sam's club card yesterday. $30 refund in billing cycle, $70 in 2nd, and 5% casback on gas anywhere.
I know this isn’t the “best way” but I have the Hilton Surpass, AMEX Gold, Delta Plat, BCE, and recently got the Vanilla Plat.
I received the “pop up” about 4 months ago when I tried to apply for the Hilton card. At this time I already had the BCE since 2014 (my oldest AMEX card) and then the AG, and Delta Plat. I got the delta plat 2 months before I decided to apply for the Hilton.
I tried the Hilton 2-3 times over 2-3 months. Kept getting the pop up. Eventually I caved as I would still get great benefits from the card and I was approved with no bonus. Since then I added the BBP (no pop up), Vanilla Plat (no pop up) and I never spent a single dime more than my normal on the BCE (my least used card with AMEX)
I'm sure there's a combination of things but from my experience, it seems that number of transactions is more heavily weighted towards getting out of jail as opposed to amount of money
Amex 🤡💩 at its finest.
Blue Business Plus* not Preferred
Does the once in a lifetime apply for a business card and then you apply under a different business name with a different EIN?!
