    No credit Check, never heard of anyone being denied.

    Given Amex’s recent poor reputation you’ll need to chase them after 90 days for the 5k points to post.

    It will be worth taking a screenshot showing the offer too, seems to be a common offer that doesn’t post without chasing. No credit check on supp.

    Should be their standard offer as listed on this page. But agree it often takes a fight these days.

    There are checks – mainly ID, not credit. We had a supp for a nanny refused once.
