AMEX 3x CLI

Ms6Footer — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 16:09:35 GMT

I hit my 61 day mark so I attempted the 3xCLI and got the 7-10 notification. Then I got an email that said:

We've finished reviewing your credit limit increase request. To get the details of our decision please contact our Customer Care team at your earliest convenience by calling 1-800-535-7790.

When I called I got an automated system that said they don’t find a request for me. The office was closed and I guess I will call back tomorrow. Do you know if an automatic CLI on another AMEX last month would prevent a CLI for 6 months from that time on any other AMEX card?

A 7-10 day message and an invitation to call usually means a decline.

You can find out the status of your request by going to https://www262.americanexpress.com/eaol/welcome_loc.do

The PCN Number is the same as the Ref Number in the e-mail you should have received after submitting your CLI request.

Thank you. I tried and it says no application was found using the data I entered.

You only get one CLI per six months, I believe. If you got one last month on another card, you don't get one for another six months on any other AmEx.

Well that just sucks if that’s the case. I’ve been counting the days for my 3x CLI. Guess I can reset the date on my tracker and try again

Auto luv from Amex does not reset cli clock. Only customer initiated requests that were approved do.

Actually, this happened to me in early January on my recently opened ED.

I was a day or two past 61 and went for the 3x. Soon afterward, I received that same email as you. Called in the next morning. CSR said there was no Request for Increase that they could see. For whatever reason my request just didn't process, yet I still received that email. Anyway, I re-submitted (for me this was my second request, to AmEx it was only my first) and didn't get the full 3x, they countered with 2x which I took.

Let us know what happens with it, and good luck!
