Anyone tried more then the 3X?

[inthewoods]

I went from 18 to 60 in one request, but that did involve sending in my tax returns (as any request > ~25k would likely have done). FWIW, I had no revolving balance.

Like you, I started out with 2k and IIRC I requested 8k at the first opportunity. It was countered at 6k. I don’t think you have much to lose by requesting moderately above 3x. It’s likely you’ll just get 3x.

I was curious as to if anyone has ever tried (for their first time) request more then the 3X CL increase for American Express. They gave me a 2K limit and I'm pretty sure it's way pass the 60 days, but I want to pay it off first completely.  When I asked for a request for my discover card I ask for about 6x the amount and got approved. 

The worse: Get denied

Neutral: Get denied, counteroffer

The best: Get approved

I don't remember reading any posts of an over 3X CLI request being granted, or even asked for...maybe another member can provide a link if it has been done.
