• Unlike many lenders, for American Express’ personal cards, you can see if you will be approved before you apply without impacting your credit score
• A soft credit check is a check into your credit report initiated either by you or a company even if you didn’t apply for credit. It is primarily used to screen for pre-approval financing offers or for a background check
