Trying AmEx PRGC Again

Stephen_C.

I have a feeling the answer here will be a straight "NO", but I'm going to ask for an opinion anyway!

I applied for the American Express Preferred Rewards Gold card 3 months ago and was unsuccessful in my application. I put my occupation down as a student on the application.

But because I'm also working full-time on a paid internship/placement, I could put my occupation as working full-time.

This still looks to be the most rewarding card on the market today with the 20k rewards bonus (I spend the amount required anyway), and the £60 TopCashBack makes it even more lucrative.

Would I be more likely to get the card applying again 3 months later? Considering that I am now:

• 21 instead of 20 years old
• Changing my occupation to "Working full time" (and have now been employed longer at my place of work)
• Have an additional 3 months of good credit history
