Just recently applied, and was approved for the SPG from AMEX with a starting CL of $5500.
On November of last year, I applied and was approved for the Delta and Hilton cards from AMEX, both with a starting limit of 1K. On day 61, I went for the 3x cli on my Hilton and was approved (now at 3k limit).
My predicament: My 6 months will be up around the same time my 61 days will be up with my new SPG card. Do I go for the 3x cli on the newly aquired card or do I have a better chance doing it on my established Hilton card? What are the pros and cons if denied with one or the other? If denied, can I resubmit on my older card?
I'd also like to reallocate some of my credit and wasnt sure if both cards have to be a year old or not? Thanks.

You can choose which ever card you want, but be sure to know that you can only request it on one card per 6month, and if you get deny you can wait 90 days and try again.
You can read this =D

IIRC, the donor account had to be at least 13 months old and the recipient account had to be at least 61 days old. However, some have reported success with partial allocations at different timeframes, so YMMV.
If age wasn't a factor, it seems like it'd make more sense to do the CLI on the card with the highest CL (SPG) and reallocate it as you need. If age is a factor, then CLI on the Hilton would make the most sense.
My only concern is which account do I have a better shot at getting approved.
The new 61 day CLI or The established account.

There's no way to tell because Amex have their own algorithems, worse case scenario you will get a counter offer, or deny. Even if you are deny you can try again in 3 months. And you just need to choose with card you would want the CLI more.
