I wonder the same thing, I guess I will just call them up.

I don't have a button, per se, but there is a place on line that says "manage you limit." It will allow you to request a cli there.

Re: Amex credit limit increase

There are 2 areas where you "can" find a link for amex CLI.

 

A) On the Recent Activity Page, there will possibly be a link on the left side, under the last activity item.

B) Under Profiles & Preferences -> See More Options -> Account Management -> Manage Credit Limit -> Increase Your Credit Limit.

 

Note that neither of these will always show up, or maybe only one will, or both.  So saying that you do not see these can still be correct.

Yep.  I didn't see them for months, after getting my first AmEx. 

 

However; (per the AmEx help section on the website); you should still have the option to call the # on the back of the card, to request the CLI.

 

My first CLI with AmEx, was by calling the # on the back of the card. I never even talked to a person. I just dealt with the automated system over the phone.

If at first you don't succeed; Garden for 6 months, then try again.

Work the system. Don't let the system work you.

I was able to find the button at the bottom of the "Recent Activity" page.  My question however is... for the people who have submitted for a CLI, is it a soft pull still or were there any hard pulls noticed as of recent?

 

Thanks!

Decided to pull the trigger anyway.  Instantly approved $7,500 > $15,000 in seconds.  No issues whatsoever.  Even if there is a hard pull, still worth it.

As to the FR question, I do not think that asking for a CLI is going to trigger FR.  There are countless people requesting CLIs all the time.  If I had to guess, FR is triggered by a complete review of many factors.  So if you have borderline credit, just barely got in the door with Amex, have recently added 5 other new accounts to your CR, paid your legal fees for your divorce on your Amex, made a run at the casinos followed by some time at the strip club, and then capped off the night with a late night shopping binge at Walmart, be careful asking for a CLI.  Otherwise, I doubt you'll have a problem. 


 

That's some funny stuff...I would imagine Amex will close your account if a person you described was in that situation. Haha.

Re: Amex credit limit increase

Did it end up being a "hard pull"?
