Need help with Amex 3x cli

I opened my blue sky amex on Jan. 2 of this year and by my calculations, I am at 61 days tomorrow. (Correct me if I'm wrong) So here is my question.....all of my credit cards are reporting at 0.00 with the exception of 3 (Sams Discover, Discover, FNBO). I'm only worried about the balance showing on the Sams Discover because my limit is 2500.00 and when it last reported, my balance was at 1550.00. It was on a 0% interest for 18 months deal. I have paid it down to 900.00 and that new statement will report and cut around 3/8. Also, my new credit limit with Walmart for 2500.00 should show up in the next few days. Should I wait and ask for the increase next weekend when that Sam's balance comes down? I want to do it at the right time but I am not sure when that is. Cat Frustrated

Re: Need help with Amex 3x cli

I would wait for the CLI and new balance to report.

That's what I was thinking I should do. I think I read that Amex does not pull a fresh report when you ask for the increase right?

I believe they use whatever their recent SP was.

Yep...your right it would be. Cat Very Happy  I guess it don't matter now anyways since I have stuff waiting to report. I have the new Sams Discover balance to report and the Walmart new credit limit to report and when I started thinking about it. The new amazon credit limit just posted and also next week the cli from Old Navy and FNBO Amex will post. It's been a good couple of weeks for me.  Cat Tongue

I would wait until after they do a SP following the CLI and payment showing on your report.

Re: Need help with Amex 3x cli

Amex still hasn't given me a second SP, and I'm at 68 days. The first SP was at 31 days - so you may be waiting a while for the next SP. 


In My Wallet: Amex BCP (12/12) $50,000, Chase Freedom (12/12) $16,500, Cap1 Quicksilver (6/12) $14,000, Barclaycard Rewards (5/13) $10,500, Citi Prestige (4/16) $30,000

I would make it as nice and clean as possible with Amex before asking.  Why risk it?
