So apparently 3X is Amex's limit on CLI

Pi! lol

or really confuse them and ask for 3.1415927 and ask them if they want some pie

[chrisw1968uk]

lol ditto

Open123 & enharu: Exactly! I knew the 3X CLI was a guidance, but I don't recall anybody saying there was an official limit on CLI, nor anybody saying they got more than a 3X, so I decided to test it out. I thought it'd be helpful to know Amex's policy regarding this.

negg: that was my 2nd 3X with them.

score_building: Thanks!

djc1puno: yep!

Jon Stur: figured I'd have nothing to lose anyway

scenery_guy: I suspect I'd have to tell them the exact CL I want. Next time I'll request a CLI to a random number just to confuse them lol

chrisw1968uk: my next CLI eligible date will be close to pi day actually. May double dip on the pie joke next year 

LS2982: Amex EO ... interesting idea. Anybody got more success out of this approach than from the traditional approach? 

[gen-specific]

yeah, others can do higher

I asked for a 6x increase on my chase sapphire preferred and got a 4.5x increase

it had nothing to do with the multiple, the underwriter didn't know I already had a credit card in the range of the 6x increase, and only gave me the 4.5x increase because other credit cards were reporting in that $ amount range

had nothing to do with the multiple.
