I applied and was approved for my Amex ED on June 17th. Originally for $1k. I read on here that some people were lucky enough to request a 3x CLI before the card even showed up for them, and they were approved. So i figured what the heck. A $1k SL is annoying.
I clicked the love button and was given, if i remember right, the 7-10 day message. So i thought i was denied. The following day i logged into my Amex account and saw my new $3k CL.
So, this brings me to my main question. I'm waiting for day 61 to request the next 3x CLI. That would be 8/17/19. However, do i need to wait 6 months since i was approved for the CLI the day after i opened the card? Or will i still be eligible for the CLI on day 61? I'm getting antsy, hoping for my new $9k limit on the 17th, and i understand they can counter me or even deny me. But am i looking forward to the 17th for nothing? Will i have to wait until 6 months after 6/18, that i requested the first 3x CLI? I haven't been able to find much info regarding those of us that were lucky to be granted the CLI before we even received the card.
To my knowledge it is 1 CLI per account holder for 6 months.

I believe you're going to have to wait. The best way to look at it is that you got lucky and got your 61 day 3X CLI 60 days early on Day 1. The clock would then start at that time for 6 months to receive your next. This also means that your 2nd CLI (and all others) will come 60 days early relative to someone that received their first CLI at 61 days, which is a good thing.
