I would say with 19 cards in the past year, you are not in a strong position for a recon. Sorry.

+1

 

They are not fond of recent cards or inquires.  It was a limiting factor for me when I first attmpted a CLI with Amex.  As soon as I relaxed on getting other cards and waited my period I have been rewarded beyond what I expected.

+2, too many accounts opened in a year.  

 

Should of of slowed your roll.

 

That is one large shot gun approach to apps.

Re: Amex CLI denied Again!

Do you have any baddies on your reports? I couldn't get an increase from them either until my baddies fell off. If not, then it could be all of your new accounts, although I also had a ton of new accounts when I finally got the increase - but not quite as many as you.

I agree with @Humu.  You are better off waiting a bit and then trying again.

Give them a little time and they will come around.  Got my 2nd on my 3rd try.  6k to 18k.  It will happen.  They're just making sure you can handle it.  Smiley Wink

OP I have to agree with redpat (I know you're shocked redpat Smiley Wink) but it happened to me because of new accounts.  It took me 18 months to get a cli from amex because of new accounts.  I'm likely in a new 18 month hold again Smiley Embarassed
