Amex CLI Success!

I applied online for the Amex CLI about 30 minutes ago and got instant approval for 3x the original limit ($2k to $6k).  I am currently about 64 days out from my original approval date.

 

I had read here in the forum that Amex was more favorable to those with 20% utility or less, but my utility is currently at 61% pending my next payment which is due 12/7.

 

Thanks again for all forum members that share their experiences, both negative and positive.  It really shortens the learning curve for a lot of people and I hope this post will add at least a little value to someone else's efforts.

 

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Congrats on the increase.  I was nervous with mine @32% before I asked for the 3x increase, but 62% Wow! That's awesome.  So glad Amex are now understanding that those with high utilization still pay their bills tooSmiley Wink

Re: Amex CLI Success!

JusdoNit,

 

I should be a little more clear.  

 

My Amex balance was at 61% utility at the time of CLI request.  My overall utility is 38%.

Congrats! I can't seem to find the Luv button. I've looked in all the usual places under "Profile & Preferences" and no luck. I guess I'll have to do it old school and call them.
