Amex ACCEPTED ME!!!

Anonymous — Fri, 06 May 2016 01:27:32 GMT

I am in shock and so excited. Been in garden 9 months. Rebuilded credit from 550 to 750 in two years and I am so happy it's all paid off. They gave me a $10,000 limit and that's my highest card atm. Second closest is $3500. I am so happy it's crazy. Such a bad few months at work and this just made my YEAR!!!!

Thanks everyone for all advice and help. Now I just need to know when is best to ask for increase down the road!!!!

Amex has appeared to change back to their old policy I would wait 61 days approx before asking for a CLI and show them some use/payment history. Congrats on your approval.

Congrats! I got my first AMEX a few months ago, great feeling. Once I received the card I requested a CLI and it went from $2k - $4k. Another 3 months (6 total) and I'm eligible to request another CLI.

Congrats on the approval!! I was approved for the Amex Hilton last month but they only gave me a CL of $1.4k. When I received my card I called for a CLI but was told I had to wait at least 60 days for a CLI.

Congrats, here's some advice. Use your Amex card and get your sign up bonus. Then after 61 days request 30k and if they can't give you that they will counter offer. I started out with a 6k limit and thought maybe I would have gotten countered for my 18k request, but they just gave it to me. Hopefully it will work out for you the same way or atleast 20k would be an amazing limit to get after coming so far.
