The AMEX BCE is my lowest CL of all my major cards at $2k. I believe I know the reason for the low limit, because I had a maxed out $14k limit with their Costco card for years that I suddenly paid off in November 2014. I did a recon immediately and was turned down. I tried again on April 13 and was again turned down. I was then told I have to wait 90 days, which I know is company policy and have it on my calendar for 7/13/15. I used the card a lot and now show a $0 balance. I went into a chat on the AMEX site and Jenny told me that normally it is 90 days but she was going to notate my account for a CLI right now and gave me 800-576-8942 and they would see her notes on my account. So, a few minutes later I called and spoke to a lady at that number, she took my info after reading the disclaimer, got my income info., asked me how much of a CLI that I wanted (I said total of $6k which is the 3x CLI). The lady on the phone said she was sorry but I can't ask for a CLI because it's not 90 days. I explained I knew that policy but was told that in the chat that Jenny marked my account so I could have a waiver to do it tonight. I knew it was a long shot, but sure gave me great hope that I could finally get a decent CLI and use this card and put on more than $200 (10%) at any given time. The rep said company policy is policy, and I assurred her I totally understand that, and I wouldn't have called if "Jenny" in chat wouldn't have told me it was noted for CLI. So, the rep I spoke to said she was going to escalate the call and with email to whoever and see if they will recon since I was given this bad information from the chat rep. I'm fairly certain this will be a sorry but you have to wait 90 days thing, but dang it they better get their acts together. This card will stay in the SD for a long time if no CLI by July 13.
