Keeping in mind though that if you apply for a business card too soon after getting the personal card they will do a second hard pull, which happened to me.


Yikes! Thanks for letting me know. Any idea how long I need to wait after getting the personal Amex card before applying for the business card to ensure there's no HP?

honestly, get an Amex personal card so you can get future Amex business cards with no HP, and to bolster your personal profile, you'll need/want more cards 


Does Amex work like that both ways?  If I'm approved for a personal card I don't get an HP when applying for a business card.  Or, if I get a business card first then there's no HP for personal cards after that?


no, you have to have a personal card to stop being HP'd on business cards

 

until you get a personal amex card, all business apps will be a HP

 

I have never heard about this before and was always told that the first card receives a HP and subsequent cards a SP (most likely).  I've got several AMEX cards and have only received one HP but my first was a personal card so I can't say for certain by personal experience.  

I would also consider the GM business card, no HP unless you accept the offer, 12 months 0% apr
