AmEx 3X CLI

FabulousDtheBruin — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:46:57 GMT

So I just opened a Green Charge, Gold Delta Skymiles, and Clear all on the same day on 01/05/13. So my 61 days is approaching in about a month.

My question, can I request the CLI on both my Gold Delta Skymiles and Clear? Or do I have to pick and choose which one to increase the limit on?

My current limits are: 2K on both Delta and Clear.

Will they do both or only one?

Thanks!

I did, and didn't find the answer I was looking for.

You get to request on only one.

This is so depressing.

I believe there was a strategy mentioned here where you bump the CLI on one 3X and then in a separate transaction move some of the new CLI to the other card. Not sure how that affects youre ability to CLI the moved-to card though.

What I plan to do as well.

Costco was issued with 2k.

My Delta was issued with 2850. Delta was raised to 8400 at 61 days. I will request 3x again in 5 more months, and then depending on the outcome, I will then request CL transfer to my Costco to get it to at least 5k.
