Amex auto CLI or request?

[drboxing]

Have a question for Amex card holders, does Amex give automatic CLI or does one have to request/apply for one? Appreciate any input

Lots of great posts about Auto CLIs recently with Amex!  Browse some of those threads, highly recommended.

Thanks jodysmithavl how long did it take for you to see an automatic increase

While they do give automatic increases, there's really no reason not to just ask them.  It will always be a soft pull and as long as the card is at least 61 days old and it has been at least 181 since Amex gave you a customer-requested credit line increase and at least 91 days since you were declined a CLI for a reason other than "you asked us too soon," you can ask at any time for up to 3X your current limit.  If declined, you can ask again 91 days later.  If approved, you can ask again 181 days later.
