Costco TE CLI success

[-Cain-]

Just received my initial 61 day CLI. 3x worked, went from $2k to $6k! Funny thing is I called in on Saturday night and a phone rep told me my account was new and I wouldn't get a CLI until 6 months!!! What the heck??? Haha, I am so glad this forum is around, seems there is better intel here than at the CC companies. That is all.

Can't wait til 6 months!!

Also, Saturday was day 61 from in-store approval and first use, today was 62 days from card arrival at home and activation.

nice =)

is there any other companies that do the 3x besides amex? 

and when they pulled your hard pull what ca was it on? or was it all three?

I'm not sure who else may do 3x.

It should be a soft pull, I will check later in the week.

Congrats Cain !! AMEX CLIs are soft pulls ~ Also I don't know of any other company that does CLIs up to 3X at 60 days....

what i meant was when you applied for the card 62 days ago =) 

i have read here all cli or new amex cards when you already have an amex are soft pulls.

CLIs are usually soft. Approvals for future cards are always hard. Denials for additional cards once you are a member are usually soft.

The hard pull for approval for my TE card was on EX, I am in Cali. I had held my AmEx Green for about 6 moths when I was approved.
