Re: AMEX Check Your Spending Ability

I've never played with that button... My limit is $10,500 on BCE. Maybe I should put in $15,000 and see what happens? Lol

Re: AMEX Check Your Spending Ability

Not really worth it to try the check spending ability button unless you actually want to make a large purchase.

I've used the button twice for that reason and wasn't disappointed.


I have reestablished credit over the last couple years
so my moniker is, well, rather out of date.

Re: AMEX Check Your Spending Ability

I think it is a good way to see if you will be approved for your 3x increase.

 

If they are comfortable with you exceeding your current limit, they will likely approve your request for an increase.

Too many INQs & low AAoA so I'm off to tend the Garden.     Age:23
