Glad to see more recent evidence for it more at $35k. When June comes around, I'll probably shoot to get to either $30 or $34. $34 to get as high as possible, but $30 is a more livable number because it's an even increment of 5.
as of 1/1/23
OK so double checking on something after reading the 3X CLI thread.
Today is 181-days since I requested a CLI for BCP and was approved.
I mistakingly tried for a CLI on both Amex Business accounts 11-days later and was denied on both.
Can a CLI be request now on one of those business accounts 181-days after the BCP approval, or do I have to wait until 181-days after the Business accounts denial? After reading the information I am guessing its the "181-days after the BCP approval"...but wanted to make sure.
Also, the business account that I want to get a CLI on originally had a SL of $2K. But I moved some from another account making it now $5K. Can I request 3X of the $2K ie asking for $6K more making my total on that account now $11K? I know, confusing...

OK so I am at a loss here to understand.
I decided not to wait for a reply and try for a CLI on the Amex Prime Card. Since that one had an original SL of $10K (moved $3K to my other account months ago) rather than try for 3X, I was conservative and went for 2X ($20K) and I got the 7-10 day notice (i.e. denied 
). I am squeaky clean with AMEX. Waited the 181-days, 4 cards with them including GOLD and Util 2%. Not sure what the issue is. I was expecting to get something (counter) not denied. Let's see what this letter says.

I don't know anything about the interaction of biz and personal Amex cards, so I have nothing to say about your first question.
But the second one... confusing, yes. I don't see where $11k comes from. Are you asking if your CLI cap is based on $2k or $5k? The answer is $5k. So you can request a new CL of $15k. If granted, that would be 3x.
As a reminder, questions and discussions regarding business accounts belong in the Business Credit subforum, not here.

Yeah, my $11K was wrong, sorry about that.
So your saying even though the original SL was $2K but I moved $3K over to it thus making it $5K, I could have asked for 3 x $5K? I was thinking AMEX would go by my original SL and then 3X that (3 x $2K) meaning I would only get a $1K increase, if that makes any sense (I think I am making this more confusing than it should be lol)
It's moot now, because I got the dreaded 7-10 notification, and we all know what that is.
Ok so im not shocked bc i have read on here when people start out with a 1k limit its very hard to grow. BUT, what i thought was strange was the reason. And also what the rep told me about when I can apply next.
So the 2 reasons on the letter were 1. Length of time with amex too short (i waited until like 62 days) 2. Inquiries.
So i chatted with amex and asked if i had somehow miscalculated and asked too soon. He said you can ask anytime you want but once you have been denied, you have to wait 180 days to ask again. I thought it was 91 days between denials? Anyone have experience here? I mean, not a huge a deal but dang, 6 months?
