Tips for AMEX CLI Double Dip?

I have an AMEX BCP Card.  SL was $1,000.  Its my first AMEX card.  Just got a 3x CLI a few days ago.  I am reading some people are seeing the CLI link working again about 4 days after their CLI and are getting another 2x-3x CLI.   Any tips other than just keep trying the CLI link and see if it works?

I'm pretty sure the few members who got that were just lucky. It was a fluke. I've tried double dipping and nothing.

I agree Amex is pretty strict on CLI request  every 180 days , these rare ones have got to be a lucky fluke .

I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get an increase on one of my cards this March and then request a CLI on another in about 5 weeks time. I won't press my luck any further though.

Re: Tips for AMEX CLI Double Dip?

Update....

 

Yesterday when I tried the link it said that I couldnt request a CLI because I recently requested one.  Today I tried it and it worked.  It asked for income and requested CL.  It said they would review and a few minutes later I get an email that the decision was made.  The letter said the CLI request had been cancelled (not declined) because I had received a CLI recently.  So thats that...looks like I will wait 180 days.

Sounds about right. As I said, those that slipped between the cracks were just extremely fortunate. I'm surprised Amex didn't reverse the second CLI. Could have been a temporary glitch in the CLI request page.

 

Anyway thank you for the update. 👍

I'm not pressing my luck either. Got my second cli 4 days after the previous one. It's been a month and they never took back the extra cli they gave me. Don't know what caused the glitch but I'll keep checking and asking every 3 months like I've always done.

@Trini88 but aren't Amex CLIs every months? I thought 3 months was only if you were denied?

I have asked and received a cli after every 3rd statement has cut, I ask around 100 days like clockwork and received an increase. Got my card in August, got my 1st increase after 3rd statement (November). I got my 2nd increase 101 days later in March. I got my 3rd increase 106 days later in June. I got my double dip 4 days after that. 4 increases and my Amex isn't a year old yet....

I'm debating even asking in September because I wanna see how far I can grow the BCE or if they will borrow from my BCP.
