Did you go ahead and fill out your app? Since you can call the recon line yourself if needed? Ive read in multiple forums that if they were going to decline your CLI they would do it automatically when you apply for it. Since you got past that part it really just seems as they want a rep to review the app because of the large amount your requesting.

I did it through the web form.  I've asked my wife to call in to look into it, since it's her card we're talking about.  I haven't done it with my own...I'll probably call in directly for that but I can't now since I'm in meetings all day.

I am waiting for the outcome of this, as have an SPG card @30K which I am looking to raise to 50K. My income is about what you list, score not as high due to loads of cc apps last few years (to build a long and solid cc history once it starts to age).

Please let us know soon!!

Cross my finger for you two......

Got the 7-10 days as well when I app'd. Reason why I did it in the first place is utilization only as getting slammed on some other cards due to meeting spend requirement for BA Chase bonuses (30K within 8 months) with a CC limit of 12K end if month the utilization on that card is HIGH, but will only give me a rise for a price and I don't pay for a rise (get it..?) anyway will post once I get a decision. Hopefully they'll get I am not so stupid to use 50K.. Not like they have capped people suddenly before when ramping up high balances within their limits

Punctuation is a luxury when sleepy.....( should make up for it, insert . where needed)

An update...we got the notice in the mail of the rejection and why. In this case it was something I could have prevented but didn't consider. Last month my wife and I made an error where we accidentally paid one of our bills twice...in this case a very large tuition bill for my daughter's school. Since we couldn't back out the second payment, my wife and I decided to pay our BCP cards for the minimum payment and then catch up this month when we didn't have to pay the tuition bill. We caught up with the Aamex BCPs and paid them in full last week. But that was enough to flag us (or at least her) at Amex as someone whom they wouldn't normally do a CLI for, despite the fact we were never late paying anything.

This probably doesn't come up too often around here since most people get their BCE/BCP cards and do a CLI within 61 days...not enough time to charge anything significant. But my wife and I use ours for some pretty sizable food bills ($2k last month) so we got caught behind the 8-ball when we goofed on the other like sized payment. Amex is reconsidering the request now and we should know more today.

What about the CLI for your card? Did you ask for the 40K?
