Amex 61 Day CLI

Hi All

 

Just thought I would share this - I was hesitant in asking for a 3x CLI for the following reasons:

 

In the last 2 months or so (since getting Amex), I have 5 new credit card accounts - totalling over $22,000 of "new credit"

 

I have only run around $1100 through my BCE card since I got it - which was around 72 days ago

 

Because of the above, I only asked for a 2x CLI ($4k to $8k) - some may say that i should have asked for $12k, but $8k would be my largest CL to date

 

- I got nervous hitting the button, but was instantly approved - I thought I would share, in case there are others with a similar story to mine Smiley Wink

Congarts on a successful 2X CLI

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
