I'm planning on doing it tomorrow to my 2 Amex Biz Cards because I just paid them off, can you confirm it was only soft pulls? I've heard so many back and forths on the subject, no sure who to believe.

It was indeed a soft pull.

I don't recall any datapoints mentioning a hard pull for a credit line increase with Amex when using the link in their account.  That would be very surprising.  Usually the soft pull conversation with Amex is about whether an existing cardholder will receive a HP when applying for a new product, which doesn't happen in most cases but is always a possibility and does happen at times.

Congrats on the CLI username7!

Congrats on the CLI username7! 

I haven't been able to get a CLI on the 3 AMEX cards I have yet. The oldest one I have is 1 year and 3 months. They cite too many new accounts lately, which is probably right, so I will wait awhile and try again.  I can't find anyplace to request one once I am logged in so I have to call in and request one.

@RealEstateGuy89 -- there is a thread listed here, that provides the steps on how to request it online since AENB recently changed/hid some of the site navigation options.
