Wow I haven't been here in a long time! But I thought I'd share my credit excitement!
1. BCE approval! You might remember that I put off applying for the BCE for a long time because I was worried about getting a crappy initial CL. Well, I finally pulled the trigger and they gave me $9,000!
I actually finally just went ahead with it because I got an email offering $250 Reward Dollars after reaching $1000 in purchases after 3 months.....unfortunately the email didn't have a working link and it didn't come with an RSVP code. 
Phone and Secure Message CSRs were clueless, but I finally got some help from a lovely person named Rachel at @AskAmex on twitter who said they could honor the offer. I just reached the $1000 marker, so I'm crossing my fingers!
2. The magical gold box o' offers on the PenFed website offered a $22,000 increase on my Travel Rewards Amex. I didn't believe it at first.....but the available credit in my account now states $36,000. Unbelievable! I was shaking when it went thru!

Wow Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
Discover IT $17k / US Bank Ace (VSig) $13.5K / US Bank Cash+ (VSig) $13.5k
Congrats! I'd like to get one of those offers from PenFed.

You MUST try for a 3xcli in 61+ days!! I bet you could easily get a 27k limit esp after that 36k reports. I hope that PenFed approves me some day! lol
I thought Amex gave CLIs up to 25K before they start scrutinizing you. Did that change?
Thanks everyone! I'm still thrilled about all of this!
