Re: The Definitive Amex 3X CLI Guide

Thanks for this. What are some recommended ways to use this card before asking for the 3x CLI? I made a big purchse between 20-40% of the credit line each of the 2 months and paid them off immediately (before the charge even posted - so I had a negative balance in both instances). In the first month I posted a statement of 2% utilization, this statement I have 4% utilization and my statement cuts on like the 19th. Should I make my 2nd statement post $0?

2nd question. I added my fiancee as an AU. Can I add her income to mine in the CLI request?

Thanks again for the feedback folks. Can I request a mod to lock this one and open up a discussion thread linking to the sticky please?

Would have better organized the OP and a Reserved Spot after the 1st post had I known this one might get stickied!
