AMEX 3X CLI

Anonymous — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:30:06 GMT

When my 3X credit limit increase is due on the 61st day, I was wondering if I ask for more than 3x for my BCP if AMEX will just reject me outright as I've seen sometimes they don't even give counter offers.

Currently I have $2,000 limit on my BCP and since at the time of approval my CSP with its 10K limit wasn't reporting, do you think if I ask for an increase to 10K on the BCP, AMEX will honor it since Chase gave me 10K on my CSP? Or should I just stick with 3x increase to $6000.

I don't think they'll give you more than the famous 3X CLI.. But if you request more lets say 10000 they'll counter offer ($6000 or less)

Only one way to find out. Let us know how it goes.

Well I don't want to risk losing 3X CLI as well lol

Has anyone else tried this?

There have been many reports of counter offers, I don't see why this would be any different.

Unless Amex gets really offended, like "HOW DARE TOU ASK FOR MORE THAN YOU DESERVE". Kinda like Oliver asking for more food.

Anyway, someone needs to be our guinea pig

They just don't allow limits to be more than tripled with each increase. I tried and the system said it had to be up to three times the current limit and wouldn't proceed until I entered a correct amount.

Haha I'll be the guinea pig then

Gonna ask for 10,000 and see what they say. Wish me luck! Hopefully it's approved. I hate the 2K limit on my AMEX!

Should be stated in the stickied 3x amex cli post.

Amex probably wont deny you for asking for 10k. Vast majority of customers have no idea what the policy is. Im sure they get 1000s of CLI req per day...
