The Definitive Amex 3X CLI Guide

[megaman1]

What timezone is Amex? I'm PST and my 3xCLI is tomorrow. Should I try it at 12:00am sharp or wait till midday?

I tried the same thing here: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Card-App-Approvals/Another-3X-Success-UPDATED-8-16-13/m-p/188...

I had to wait, but the wait paid off.

Did you wait an extra day?

12:15am failed from PST, but sunrise that morning it worked.  So same day, just later on.

How confident are you of this?

I asked earlier if my DW is eligeable to request a 3X cli after 61 days even though she was given an automatic increase from 500-1000 after 14 days and haven't received a reply. Maybe their isn't an answer.

I was approved today for the Usaa Amex Military card. Can I request a 3X CLI 61 days with this card?

Usaa Amex is not from  American Express Centurion BankCard.. 3xCLI not for this card

The banks basically outsource the  billing thru American Express.

Any of the co-branded cards that are issued via Centurion Bank are going to be eligible for 3X CLI 61 and backdating . Examples would be the Hilton HHonors AmEx, Delta SkyMiles, Costco's True Earnings, the Mercedes-Benz AmEx.BCE etc...

Cards that are not issued via Centurion Bank are also not eligible for backdating . Examples would be the Dillard's AmEx, USAA AmEx, BoA Accelerated Rewards AmEx.

I just 3xed my BCP from $2,200 to $6,600!

I wanted slightly longer than the initial 60 days (I had an account reporting erronously, and wanted to get that cleared first)... so, it was closer to 75 days... but still, 3X!

Amex hadn't SPed me since late december, and accordingly to my Experian report never SPed me when I requested the CLI.
