Macy's Amex Upgrade

[taxi818]

Hello all. I asked to have my macys upgraded on may 30th. up to now ive not heard a single word from them. i know before i even asked they said it could take up to 30 days. but damn. how hard can it be. ive not seen anything hit my reports. i don't even see where they soft pulled me at all. anyone else with the macys amex have this experience?. should i sm them or just keep waiting? since im in true garden mode the only way is to have it soft pulled. im not gonna apply and im not sure if upgrade knocks one out of the garden anyway. after all i did not apply. any advice thanks. Taxi

Following, since I'm curious too. I'm not looking at trying to upgrade it until sometime in late 2016 though....

I upgraded two months ago. Took them about 4 weeks to mail me a letter that I was approved and another week to send me the new card.they didn't email me or anything about it before I got the letter. hope this helps. I think since you have few Amex card, macys will upgrade you, it'll take some time, they are lazy lol

Anytime taxi. I'm a long time lurker. Your posts and others on here helped me a lot. It was because of you guys I was able to get citi prestige, double cash, chase freedom, CSP, jetblue Amex, sallie Mae mc, discover cli,  venture and finally upgrading macys to macys Amex. I would have never known about all of those if it wasn't for you guys so big thanks to you and everyone here

Hi, It takes a while, but if your credit is good you should not have a problem. I called to apply they told me they could not process it for a fraud alert, that I would need to go apply in the store. I applied in the store and was DENIED because I already have a Macys (10K) and Macys Amex (1.5). The cashier showed me another screen with both of my accounts! Call back or visit a store they can pull up your accounts.

Taxi, did you hear about your upgrade yet?  I just applied for mine via chat and am trying to gauge the process and timeline based on your experience

How long did you have Macy's before requesting an upgrade?  I recently got in with Amex on my own this month, but I'm an AU on a BCE.  Would like to someday if I can switch my card, but would like to know how long before trying to make the jump.  I've had my Macy's for 4 months.

The Macy's Am Ex is a ci branded card.  Not the same as American Express issued by Centurion bank. What is your current limit and current Ex score?

I would wait 6 months to go for an upgrade.
