Do I now have to wait 90 days to try again? Or can I try again once my account is 61 days old? I asked this on the Definitive Amex 3X CLI Guide forum but didn,t get a response. They started me off at such a low limit. I figured if some people were getting early luv I had a shot. But I really hope I don't have to wait 90 days.
Don’t feel bad I did the same thing. I was being impatient. A lesson learned.

This was a 1k Delta card so I could get in the door with Amex. Decided after denial letter for an ED card hoping for a better CL like 2k so it wouldn't sting so much, got approved for 10k on the ED card after only have the delta alittle over a month.. Go figure..
Wow, that's unbelievable!

Ya crazy isn't it.. turned down on a 1k Delta 3x after having it 26-28 days or whatever then one week later once getting letter decided said bleeop it and applied for the ED for a better limit and another 25 years of backdating and got approved for 10k... really makes no sense, but not going to argue.. Similiar things like this are occuring more and more from what i have seen, maybe not as drastic as mine..

I don't think they're that sensitive to new accounts as much as other lenders are. The weird part with me is that I didn't get the full 3x CLI on my Delta card but a few days later got approved for the ED card.
How much have you used the card thus far?
I've run less than 1000 through it. paid it off a few times. Maybe 800-900. Not really sure
Same thing happened to me. I started off at a low limit on my ED card ($1000) when it was approved November 1, 2014. Tried the early 60 day 3x cli around 12-15 and was told I was too early. I then tried requesting the CLI **AFTER** my official date and was denied because AmEx considers the original request that I made in December to be an outright denial. Some chat reps have told me to re-apply for the CLI after April 1st while others have told I need to wait until after June 1st. No one really seems to know when I should apply. I'm guessing you're going to get different answers from different CSR's too
The funny thing is the same day I was denied a CLI on my ED I was approved for the PRG.
Darn. Wish I had waited 61 days
Sorry op. thats why its best to stop following the crowd and go with known and true methods. if not for this forum most would not know about the 61 days. no way am i gonna follow a fly by night attitude and risk not getting approved. sorry it happened. my good friend who irefered the card to also tried it early. now he gets the message. he must wait 90 from his last attempt. too bad. patience patience patience. is all we can say. this is been happening a lot to be frank. because a handful of people got it early. it is not the norm by any means.
that sucks
