I opened my Amex ED in May of last year, instantly approved at $2k, lowest limit of all of my cards currently. No love for a CLI of any kind since them, which I find strange considering I run anywhere from 1-3k through my Platinum card a month. That said I'm in the vast minority it seems, I've read many times of people getting 3x increases, just not me

It's not just you. There are many people that go thru long periods of time without being able to get CLIs from Amex and sometimes it's hard to know why. How much do you use the ED card per month? what reasons are they listing on the denial letters?
I didn't get my 3x either after I waited last year.
If I'm AU on my wife's card and she gets a CLI, will that still allow me to get a CLI on my own personal cards?
Also, I'm sure AmEx was the one where only ONE card can get an increase every 180 days, right? So basically I have to choose which one I want to get an increase? And if one card gets denied an increase, can I try a different card?
Why can't it be as simple as capital one

Definitely read the 3x CLI Guide. 60 days is no longer enforced but the rest of the guide is still relevant. I don't have a link but it's always the first hit when I Google "3x CLI".

Being able to request is not the same thing as qualifying. 7-10 is not a denial. Outcome depends on whatever needs to be done.

It's not about odds. It's about what one's credit profile and income qualify for -- same as with any creditor.

Nothing strange about it. Do not rely on the usage meme. It's never just about the one account. Your entire credit profile matters. You cannot just assume that others getting a CLI means that you will as well. There are plenty of others who do not get a CLI. How has your credit changed since approved and assigned the initial limit? Has it improved? Remained the same? Become worse?

It will not prevent you from being able to request a CLI. Whether or not you qualify is an entirely separate matter.

180 days from last CLI as indicated in the 3x CLI Guide.
Every creditor sets its own policies on these things and underwriting requirements can vary as well. Don't assume that all creditors should be like any one creditor.
