Re: amex credit limit increase

now i heard someone getting approved for a revolving amex with a low experian plus score. when i read this, i instantly had the confidence to request a credit limit increase. but i was prompted because i knew for a fact (from a rep.) that i should have no problem asking after 12/15. well i wanted to wait untill at least march to do it. but upon reading the score, and knowing it was completely one month later, i figured, what the heck.

 

i learned that if you ask over the phone, it becomes a soft inquiry. i don't know if it is via rep. or automated phone that are both soft, but i went with a rep just to be sure.

Congrats on the CLI!  How do you like your Blue Cash card?  I just recently got one and been putting all my expenses through it to maximize rewards Smiley Very Happy

Re: amex credit limit increase

i love my blue cash card, except i feel guilty using it for most things, because their fees are the highest for merchants. it is mostly my grocery store card, walgreens, or cvs. thats mostly where i will use it, use it at dunkin donuts exclusively, nice restaurants. department stores. huge auto mechanic payments. (i will use several cards to make the purchase, including blue cash.)

Re: amex credit limit increase

Congrats on your CLI for Blue Cash!!!! About a month ago, I requested a CLI for my Costco Amex over the phone. They increased from $3K to 5K. I never requested any CLI for my Blue since I got the card. I think it is enough for me to use. I heard you can request  only one CLI for every six months for only one of all credit cards.

Re: amex credit limit increase

It seems as if AMEX has opened up the credit vault again. For the longest, the CLI button wasn't working.  Everyone is getting approved for new cards and CLIs.  Congrats!
