AMEX CLI?

turninganewleaf — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 16:15:34 GMT

I have an AMEX Blue CC, received Delta Gold in Sept, upgraded to Blue in Oct. I have received 2 statements and have PIF both times, current bal is $0.

My current CL is $1K and I'd kind of like to ask for a CLI to maybe $2500, I don't want to push it just yet. I think just $1500 would be safe CLI off the bat.

My only concern is that I may apply for a home loan in May/June of 2008...would a CLI now hurt me? I really was planning on waiting until this account has aged 6 mos.

What do you all think?

I don't forsee that would have a big impact on your score. Go for it. If you think you can get the increase, do it. Definitely will help your utilization.

I did that to Chase and they decreased my loc...

Thank God I had that reversed a few days ago. Chase is in my good graces again!

i've hear double existing cl every 30 days (i'm not that brave though), but my first attempt from 2-5k was shot for card not open 30 days, second 2-5k shot down multiple reason, thid times a charm 2-4k instant.
