BIG AMEX UPDATE! π Is the 5-card limit gone?
Published on April 8, 2026, 3:35 PM
Major news for the credit card community! For years, American Express has strictly enforced a 5-card limit for their credit cards. But things might be changing...
A recent report from reddit suggests that Amex may have officially dropped this hard limit! π A chat representative confirmed that applications are now being reviewed individually rather than being automatically capped at five cards.
Hereβs what you need to know:
β
The 5-Card Rule: Previously, you could only hold 5 Amex credit cards at once (this didnβt include charge cards like the Gold or Platinum).
β
The Change: Reports indicate Amex is moving toward a more flexible, individual review process.
β
Individual Approval: While the hard "5" might be gone, your total number of cards is still a factor. If youβve reached your personal maximum, Amex will notify you immediately upon application.
Is this the green light to finally add that next card to your wallet? π³β¨
