AMEX 3x CLI on 2nd Card?

Hello Everyone!

 

I have had Amex BCP (2k Initial CL) since 10/16/14 and Amex Delta Gold (1k initial CL) since 11/29/14. 

 

Asked for 3x on BCP after 61 days and was instantly approved for full 6k. 

 

It has now been 61 days since Delta Gold was opened. I have not used the card once. Can I ask for 3x CLI on it now? 

 

Not sure if this matters or not but I just got a costco membership and am waiting for my member number to apply for Amex Costco and Green charge card. Thoughts? Should I got for 3x CLI now (If I can), or wait on it and apply for Costco and Green charge with one HP?

Re: AMEX 3x CLI on 2nd Card?

Once you ask for any CLI on one of your cards you must wait 180 days to ask again.  Doesn't matter how many cards you have.  All of this is explained in the sticky thread and has a ton of info there should you have additional questions

I'm pretty sure that you you will have to wait 181 days from your last CLI to request a CLI on any of your other AMEX cards.

Whichever you decide, congratulations on all your AMEX cards!

BCP = AF

Delta = AF (where's the bonus spend? That card always comes with some bonus miles available)

Green = AF

Costco = meld existing Costco membership.

 

You have to wait 6 months now between CLI requests, as others (and the sticky thread) note.

 

That's quite a few AF AMEX you are planning Smiley Happy

Re: AMEX 3x CLI on 2nd Card?

Yep, as stated 180 days on approved CLIs across all cards, 90 days if denied.

Good Luck with the TE app, I was denied(and the app was cancelled) BCP but approved for PRG because I had "maximum new accouts in a few months" due to TE & Delta 2 months prior.

You have to wait minimum 30 days to re-apply but, I'll wait a few months before re-apping the BCP
