Wow big congrats! Do you have to wait till you receive the card to do this? Also what is the best course of action for CLI if you have two cards? My husband got approved for the ED for $2500 and the SPG for $1000. Which one should he request?
If that was my case, I'll ask ED to 7500, then in 180 days the ED for 22,500, then after 13 months with ED transfer some limit to SPG and in day 180 try 3X the SPG. They may increase the limit on the SPG before you transfer limit, so if they give a good increase just 3X the limit.
I got ED at 2K and asked for 6K after 2 weeks. In 180 days I'll ask for 18K. January 2016 apply for BCE, depending on the limit I'll just ask for 3X limit on BCE or transfer some limit from ED, then 3X. I want both cards over 15K by 03/16 (I need to work on my income too )

I was waiting for 61 day CLI on my BCE which would have been 3/17, but decided to pull the trigger on the website thanks to you post. $8,500 > $25,500 instant with 706 score and about 12% utilization. AMEX is getting crazy easy to deal with, maybe they loosening some restrictions since they will be losing Costco portfolio and a whole lot of cash with it!
Update: Wife just pulled the trigger on her ED and got $5900 > $17,700! Good Day...too bad those cards never see more than $1500 a month and a PIF
How many inquiries do you have? I am nervous to pull the trigger because I opened a new credit account after my Amex.
Congrats!

I was originally approved for a CL of $3,500 on my ED CC. Today i called to ask for a CLI. The rep asked me of what amount, I replied with the amount of $7,000, equal to 3x, and was instantly approved in seconds! Bringing my CL to $10,500!!!
My BCE was approved for $9,900 originally so I feel no need or greed to ask for a CLI on it...yet...
I am def feeling the love from AMEX lol
Congratulations!

I'm nervous! I got mine on Feb 7th. Ran about $400 through the card. Current balance $48. Should I request or not? Or should I wait!?!?!
I got my 3x CLI recently with a $300 balance on the card, so I say go for it!
Omg it got approved! Went from $2.5k to $7.5k!!! Had the card about 2-3 weeks and ran $400 through it so happy!
