I was always under the impression that the donor card had to be at least 13 months old before they would allow you to transfer any of its credit line to another card (or else I would have opened a couple of new cards back in the summer for this very purpose; thankfully I no longer have the need).
There's also the possibilty that they have changed the 'rules' as well; like I've mentioned before, when they change policy on this sort of thing they tend to not notify us first (although that would be nice... LOL); it takes somebody trying to see what will work. It's why even if the concensus is that something won't work sometimes I try anyway, as long as there's no harm in doing so.
In any case, congrats to the OP for getting it to work regardless!
In mid-2014 I tried to reallocate my Delta Platinum of less than a year to my Delta Gold of more than a year, and was denied because the donor card was less than a year.
If changed, would be an interesting item to clarify, particularly whether any of the two cards needs to be more than some age or can be new.

I'm interested in knowing if there's been a 'global' change as well.
Maybe @Anonymous will come across this thread and be able to clarify for us. 
Nice to know I'm not totally losing it 
. I actually revisited a thread I made back in the summer to be sure and everyone who chimed in told me I would have to pay the "year 2" AF on the new Delta once I acquired it because I would have to wait until month 13/14 to reallocate the CL. Thankfully this wasn't the case. Will probably ditch the card by the 6 month mark unless someone thinks that may rub Amex wrong. The Delta pickup was strictly for the bonus.
Looking forward to seeing what info our Amex Insider Pooka has for us.
