Got my AMEX BCE in February. I would later read that I pretty much got in with AMEX by the skin of my teeth with a paltry $1,000 CL. I didn't care. I was happy to be in with them and, having read this entire thread at the time, I figured I'd turn it into a $3,000 CL, then $9,000 in no time at all.
On Day 61 I requested a CLI. Immediate denial. Reason stated was that my credit score was too low. Well, it was higher than when they approved my app, so I was a bit annoyed. I figured, I had other high limit cards, AMEX was my lowest, I'd give my business elswhere and try again in 91 days.
I decided to keep my business with AMEX to a minimum. I did an auto pay for car insurance and paid my phone bill with it. In the meantime read more and saw that some were being denied a CLI with AMEX due to a BK reporting. My discharged Ch.13 will fall off of my report in May 2018. When Day 91 came, I decided I would not request a CLI, but would wait.
Imagine my surprise when I received a this message today! Yay!
That's awesome 2Green...gives me hope that I'll get some luv from Amex next month!
Congrats!
I, too, started with a $1k limit and was recently denied an increase and I've never had a BK.
Probably just going to use AMEX as my utility card and whatever happens, happens.

Sorry to hear that. Day 153 (62+91) it is, then. Fingers crossed!
Sorry shoegal, keep the faith
