Yup! They had me call just to tell me I had to wait 60 days.

Thanks, everyone for the info!

Free agency is not going well so far.

I just got this email at 1156pm. I already don't want to call. It's my first Amex product. I'm bumping an old post so I don't have to create a new one with the exact same subject.

Are these phone calls EVER good news?

Wasn't for me lol! But I ran into another poster who tried on activation, denied, tried on 61, denied - called in and they stated it had to be 91 days from denial. SO I personally am not even going to try at 61 and just wait for 91. I wouldn't recommend trying at activation. Just wait the 61 days or else you might be pushed back to 91. YMMV, of course.

Blasted. I tried upon activation.

UPDATE: called, they said 60 days. After 6o days they'll be happy to process the credit limit increase request. I'll call on day 61. I'm glad this is over and done with.

I just tried and I have a funny feeling they're going to tell me 91 days also.

FYI, Amex is good with credit line allocations if the old card is 13 months or older. That's one way to increase a line with a new card. My new BCE went from 2k to 16.5k right after I got it. The old everyday card was canceled by me. Didn't need both and the terms of the BCE were much better than the everyday.

Sandi, is that what ended up happening?
