If I go to request my 3x CLI now, would AmEx see it as a zero balance or see what it shows on the CR? Just trying to figure out if I should hold off until the next statement cut or not...
I wouldn't worry about the balance reporting and just go ahead and apply. Good luck

Background on my situation:
I'm waiting on a DD car accident settlement which should pay off most of my cc debt, but I got 2 amex cards 3 months ago that dinged my experian report (I tried to get 2 cards on 1 HP, but didn't work out for me, so got 2 HP's), and they also lowered my average credit card account age to around 2 years (with 6 years being oldest cc). I also want to a apply for a personal loan of 10-15K to consolodate remaining cc debt, but mostly to help fund a part time business. It looks like most of the the personal loan places look at experian, so I'm trying to make sure nothing else dings my experian report before I try for that personal loan. Also if I request a CLI from barclay who usually pulls transunion, there is no chance of a personal loan company pulling experian seing that TU pull right?
Not true. No HP will result whether you're approved or not.
And no the personal loan company wouldn't see the pull on TU
Just got my card in the mail today, activated it and immediatelu requested a CLI from 3k to 9k and was instantly approved! Awesome. This is my only amex card!

Waiting for my new Amex ED to come. What happens if the 3xCLI activation fails? Can i try again after 61 days or 90 days?

If denied, it's 90 days until you can request again.
Received my Amex Preferred yesterday. I activated and immediately ask for CLI. Started at $4,000 and approved for $12,000. This is my first Amex card.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the CLI. Great limit now
Thanks!! I wouldn't have known about the 3X CLI request, if I hadn't come across this thread during some google searches.

Thank you, that's what I thought on both... but nice to be reassured
