AMEX CLI Denied

[Anonymous]

I also just started with Amex recently in April. The Amex SPG SL was 10k but it was also my first high limit credit card. At 10k I thought I wouldn't get a cli, but about a month ago I started seeing the "increase credit limit" option on the home page, and this morning I requested a cli of 5k and was instantly approved. 

Option came up after the 90 days like other posters mentioned. I'd also like to point out Amex is an excellent company that will grow with you. Aside from my 748 FICO I still have a Capital One card that is still $300 and a 25.99% APR

Hey guys! I'm a noob with AMEX. Got a BCE with a SL of $500 95 days ago. Tried at 61 days and no joy. The request cli button appeared again, so I figured what the heck and hit it again today. Just for a 50% increase. So we will see. My scores are janky right now due to this new card and a refi of my truck, so mid 600s across the board... but maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks for this post, though! It's given me alot of valuable information.

Same experience here. I posted in another thread the other day that I was denied a CLI but few hours later approved for the Hilton Surpass card (low SL $1000).  I'm just glad after the past year though that I was finally in with the Amex family.  That's been the one I've been trying to get in with since my whole rebuilding process.

Hang in there. I opened up my BCE a little bit less than two years ago and my starting limit was only $2k. As of today it is at $30k . You will get there in no time.

It’s been well over 91 days, so decided to give it a try and once again, got the 7-10 day message.

Hi Total

Were you able to decrease the UT on your Disco and PenFed substantially before re-requesting the CLI? Hopefully you did.

GL to you.

How can it be over 91 days if you started this thread on 8/24/17? It's 91 days from the day of the denial, not account opening.

I have not got them much lower, yet.

@oldman87

I’ve never recieved a CLI so I didn’t know I had to wait 91 days from the date of my denial.

Bummer, but I am more than happy with other cards I have so I just put my Netflix on the AMEX to be auto paid monthly.

My PowerCash is going to get most of my useage and will PIF each month.
