amex cli

I asked for my first CLI from Amex, on my BCP.  They list me as member since 07 (on a previous card, now trying to backdate to 1986).  They asked me to fill out a 4506-T.  How usual is that?  I read stuff here about auto-CLIs etc, so this seems annoying!  I asked to go from 25K to 35K, so nothing like 3x after 61 days, this is 40% after 5+ years.

Re: amex cli

Had you read the archives a bit more, you would see that auto CLI is only to 25k. They routinely ask for documentation on any CLI above 25k. Most people on this forum start below that amount, so the difference isn't discussed that much, but there are multiple confirmations of this in the archives.

In wallet: Ink Plus 10k, AMEX TE 25k. In bag: CSP 16k, USAA WMC 15k, Hyatt 13k, United MPE 12k, AMEX HHonors 3k. In SD: Cap 1 QS 5k, Discover IT 7k. FICO 08 says my EQ is now 844, was 510 in 2010.

Re: amex cli

Anything after $25,000 triggers FR. Do you even need to have a CL of $35,000?

It depends what you mean by "need"!  I am closing some cards with AFs and want to keep approx the same total credit line.  Let's see what happens.  My credit reports are all clean
