I bet the forum regulars are sick of Amex CLI questions, but I couldn't find what I was looking for in past threads.  Today is 92 days since I was approved for my BCE, so I went for the 3x CLI and the thing said account too new.  What is the current req for your first (new cardholder) CLI on a BCE and when does the clock start?

Do you have to wait 101 days?  6 months like the BCP?  Does the clock start from the approval/inquiry, or when you activated the card, or when your first statement cut?

Wait... its 6 months for the BCP?

6 months between approved requests, yes, for ANY revolving card, not just the BCP.

The 91 days is only for your first CLI after approval.

I thought they meant 6 months post approval.

That wasn't true for me.  I got the 3x at 90something and another 3x 91 days after that.  BCE.

I got my BCP March 27th so we'll see at the end of the month 🤞but a rep I spoke with recommended waiting until after the second statement cuts.

Similar to other posters, it was around 100ish days for me too before it allowed me to ask for a CLI. 

I was also denied, and approved 91ish days later for that cli.

My experience was the first cli was granted at the 5 month mark. Then every 6 months after that. But once the gate opens, as long as your profile is clean, they have no problem giving out limits. Mine went from 1k limit to 34k limit in 2 years!

100-ish days for me too (BCP). 91 wasn't enough. Link didn't appear online so I had to find the link here to request it.

For some it can be, yes. It's all YMMV.
