Since I didn\u2019t scour the churning space this weekend like I normally would, I\u2019m going to offer your a generic tip instead:<\/p>\n<p>American Express doesn\u2019t do a hard credit-pull for almost all applications, successful for rejected, as long as you have at least one of their cards currently open. That means that sending in applications for American Express cards (especially business cards because they won\u2019t show on your credit report) is pretty much consequence free. If you\u2019re not lobbing in an application for an American Express sign-up bonus every few months, make sure you\u2019ve got a good reason for it. With an average sign-up bonus sitting north of 90,000 these days and four successful business applications a year, you\u2019re looking at 360,000 bonus membership rewards points with absolutely zero impact to your credit score. That\u2019s a big deal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1682\" height=\"304\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/wind-surfing.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/wind-surfing.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/wind-surfing-300x182.jpeg 300w\" width=\"500\"\/><figcaption>My majestic Memorial Day wind-surfing experience.
