Basically the title. Interested in the Gold as it would fit my lifestyle really well, however, I was only offered the standard 60k points SUB when applying last night.
Considering the CSP public offer is 75k, I felt that this was not worth grabbing and withdrew my application. I’m wondering if anyone else who has been initially offered the public offer, has been able to get an 80-100k offer for the gold.
For context, my velocity has been a little high recently with signing up for the CFF and Bilt 2.0 transition. Would I be better off waiting for a while for my application activity to cool down, or even perhaps opening an Amex HYSA to build a relationship with them?
Any insight much appreciated!
EDIT: Not in any rush for the card either. Will either jump on a 80k+ Gold offer, or wait to see of any elevated CSP offers come this year.
How can I get a higher Amex Gold SUB

I don’t want to give any false hope, but I applied maybe 10 days ago, got the 60k SUB and didn’t accept.
Today, I got the 100k SUB offer through my email, and I got approved.
I’d recommend waiting a bit to see if something similar happens to you, however I know that a lot of factors are considered so I’d also look into those to see if it’s something like waiting for a more mature account age average. You mentioned your application activity is a bit high, so maybe take a break in that department.
Also, Amex has a rule where if you apply for a card 2 times in a month, they will not take anymore applications for 30 days, so be wary of that as well.
Good luck!
I got a mailer for it, you can also try applying through the Resy website or with someones referral, on an incognito window with a VPN. It’s BS.
