Try again in 90 days. Amex isn't very good with recon, unless there is an error in your credit report . You didn't get any sort of CLI?
How old is your account? Has it been 61 days since you opened it?
no increase..
Got account on July 18, 2013..I thought today would be my 61st
I only ask because one of the things they claimed was your account is too short, which I thought was odd. It seems like you have 61days.
What CL did they give you initially?
$2K with a 720 from EX.
Hmm, I honestly don't know. Maybe others on the board have had similiar experiences. People normally seem to get some sort of CLI counteroffer if they don't get the x3. I'm a bit disappointed to hear they are focusing on your baddies from six years ago, since they knew about those when they issued the card. Is this your first amex? If so, maybe they just want to see how you do for the first 4-6 months before their comfortable and then you can start getting limit increases? Also, do you have other cards in general? Maybe it can happen with a thin file?
Try again in 90 days. I was initially denied the 61 day as well. 90 days later they countered and gave me 2x. If your ever denied an increase with AMEX wait 90 days and try again. If your approved wait 6 months and try again.
