How to determine last Amex CLI attempt

rmduhon — Fri, 26 May 2017 19:06:44 GMT

Somewhere around early/mid March I asked for a CLI and was denied. Is there a way outside of calling them to see when it actually was? I don't want to try again until I'm past the 91 days.

If I recall correctly, you can just ask them on chat.

Didn't think about chat. Thanks

Are you concerned about credit...or current events...jk

I will make note to do the chat function once I get closer (Oct. for me)

My phone is in its last throes so all of my usual words and abbreviations are gone and I didn't realize what autocorrect did. Lol. So glad my new phone will be here tomorrow.

We fixed it (the headline, not your phone).

OP go by the date your account was activated. Just use 91 days from that date as your starting point.

I can't use that date anymore since I tried for a 61 day CLI.

Yes you can, requesting an increase doesn't reset the clock. I've done it too many times to know. Lol

It does when you get denied like I was.

No it doesn't. My Amex card didn't go from $4k to $36k on its own. I requested CLIs over the last 24 months. If you didn't get it at activation. Give it 91 days and try again. If that doesn't work. Give it 180 days from activation and try again. You'll eventually get your increase.

I've been denied and then received the CLI the next day after hitting the luv button again.

Depends on what the denial reason was.....

A collection. If I had waited 3 more days the collection would've been gone.

You can do a search for American Express on your email if you keep stuff like that. The subject line for my last one read, "Important information about your limit increase request."

If you received a CLI denial letter in the mail, you could use the date of the letter as the starting point for the date count.

I like to keep it simple, since i have a small notebook with all my accounts written down, i check my accounts every couple days, with due date, balance and credit limit written down, some may have aprs and other noteable stuff but i do it the ol fashion way. If i apply for an increase i note it on a page and what date i did it with results and mark down when is next possible date to try again. Then just put in a reminder on my calendar and cheesy poofs, try again
