I can't believe I fell into temptation and tried applying for BCE, knowing I had this funny feeling in me. I got denied, then I got some email and I checked my application status. Amex said I applied for the same card twice (how is Blue the same as BCE?) so they "cancelled the application". I feel so disappointed in myself.

Thank you for applying for the Blue Cash® Card from American Express. We value your membership and appreciate your interest in another American Express Card. According to our records, you submitted more than one application for this Card so we've cancelled the duplicate request.

However, your original application has been reviewed and we are happy to inform you that you were approved. Your new Card has been sent to you and can be activated online atamericanexpress.com/activate or by calling the number on your Card. You may then use your Card immediately and start enjoying the benefits of Cardmembership.

Think you have to be 30 days between the approval

Yes. that was my thought, although it is hard to apply for Blue Cash by mistake.

Would that be the best thing to do? I feel like they meant to flat out deny me, instead they must of made the mistake of cancelling the application. If it was denied, wouldn't it said denied?
