AMEX CLI?

[Anonymous]

Ive been a cardholder with AMEX since 1988, but rarely ever used it. I recently opened a credit card and put my younger son on it and they approved me for only 3000$. My charge cards ( when used ) are charged in the upper 50-70k>. I called in and requested a immediate CLI once i recieved the card and they bumped me to 9000$. Should I try to call in and request a higher limit or wait 61 days since the increase from 3000>9000?

You need to wait for 180 days before you can request CLI again.

Yes, you need to wait 180 days and you can ask for 27k then or more if they auto-cli before that time.
