Does being matched for an Amex card mean it is a guaranteed approval?

Recently, I was matched for the Platinum and Gold cards at Amex. Does getting matched mean I’ll get accepted right away? Or is there a possibility that I won’t be accepted?

Being matched for an Amex card doesn’t guarantee approval. It means you have a good chance, but Amex will still review your credit and other factors before making a final decision. So, there’s still a possibility you might not get accepted.
