Amex's policy is no CLI on a new account for 60 days, and then every six months after that.

Do you mean you can't ask for one or they refused you one?
The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

People who like adventure might do this. As crazy as AmEx has been recently, wouldn't it be smart to kick back, do all the things that get posted here to do (use it a lot and PIF, over and over and over), and at month seven, see if they give you an auto-CLI? And if not, then ask.

I don't get this moth-and-candle-flame thing that so many AmEx cardholders have. Smiley Surprised


edit to add: sorry, this reply was for OP. It's hard to quote an empty text box.

I am absolutely waiting for the seventh statement before even thinking about it!!

I don't think it is restricted to Amex card holders!  There seem a lot of folks round here looking for CLIs every few months!

I agree, I am coming up on 6 months with them and had all the intentions in the world to ask for a CLI.  Now after hearing about all the horror stories I am going to sit back and let everything age, no inq's.

True, but you don't see quite as many bullet-ridden bodies as those of (former) AmEx holders... Smiley Sad

After several attempts at a CLI I called AMEX to talk to a rep and was told to wait until May which would be my 6th month.
