I applied for and got the Amex Everyday back in November, SL was $3200 (matched my Diamond Preferred), on day 55/56...can't remember, but I may have been a little tipsy and went for the 3X CLI and got the full $9600. I kinda wish I'd gone for $10,000, now. HAHA!

On the 3x, generally yes. I tend to check spending ability, gives me a good idea what to shoot for. Again, it's a YMMV situation. It can't hurt your case to have at least one billing cycle go through, with successful payment over minimum due.Question how often can you do this before they lock you out? Couple times a month? I wanna play with it a bit, but don't wanna be locked.. Wanna see if I can spend double my current CL
You could try once or twice in a night, but if you have a specific amount in mind, I wouldn't keep checking. I've only done it occasionally, to test the next level I might want to cli. It has always approved the level, then I let it be.
After playing with the tool and checking the available spending ability too often and getting locked out, I was told by a rep that you can check up to twice in a 24 hour periof. After that, the security feature kicks in.

Sorry you just found out. Mostly common fact for that tool. It changes day to day. Based on spending. So it's really useless. Unless you are on the way to store at that moment.
@Anonymous, no they didn't post, just read.

Actually, mine doesn't vary, same results, and I go from a lot of shopping with the card to none for a month. And what I target for a cli, I get approved. This is my own personal experience, YMMV. But, generalizations don't seem to work with Amex at the moment.
