Guys.
MY Amex Hilton was approved Feb 21. IT arrived Feb 26. I activated it Feb 26. Today, I applied a credit line increase throught the automated system by phone. I was denied and told that AMEX only increases credit lines after 60 days.
Was I it by a hard pull by this one? When is the exact time to ask for the CLI and thru phone? I don't have the CLI button on my account 
Thanks. More power and more credit line increases to all! 
Starting Score: 703
From what I've read here, and if I remember correctly, you can request a CLI 61 days after opening. I'd be stunned if it were a HP: you got kicked out before they even looked at your report most likely, and traditionally Amex CLI's are SP's anyway.
Starting Score: EQ 561, TU 567, EX 599* (12/30/11, EX lender pull 12/29/11)Current Score: EQ 660, Wally TU 697, EX unknown (05/13/13)
Goal Score: 680 in all three (01/01/14)

Doubt it was a hard pull. Amex is usually (always?) a soft for CLI requests.
I also don't think it resets your clock, so you should be good to request again in a couple days. This I'm not so sure about though.
As for timing, it is no CLIs in first 60 days. So you have to wait until day 61. I think that counts from account activation.
ya u have nothing to worry about... You just jumped the gun a bit. Try again in a week.

OMG. 
Anyway, tried reading numerous AMEX CLI threads -- one dude also jumped the gun and called again in a few days.
Imma try to call them on April 26.... Crossing my fingers. I've been stuck with so low limits!

61 days or you'll get the same response.
