While I havent researched it here, I imagine that the mantra of 3x CLI at 61st day has been fairly tested in the past. AMEX had a reason to give you the limit they did and I doubt little has changed in the 2 months since you started using the card to really change their mind too much.
Ye of little faith, Duncan. I've removed a collection in that time and increased my FICO by more than 20 points.
But really, what's the worst they can do? Counter? Decline?
