Hey y'all-
So... I was approved for my USAA amex on Nov. 23, 2018 (84 days). Yesterday, I noticed the 'change credit limit' button appeared on my account. It wasn't there last statement cut (January) - which was my second statement (1st full statement) - I don't know exactly when it appeared, but yesterday is when I noticed it. My 3rd statement cuts on the 18th.
From what I've read, the increase button generally appears at the 6 month mark as accounts aren't eligible til then. Anyone ever have the button appear so soon after account opening (if so, results?)?
I did have their secured card for a full year prior to getting the amex - I closed the secured and immediately apped for an unsecured. I have also been an AU on another account for several years -- perhaps this combined history has something to do with it...?
I know CLIs are a hard pull with them... and I'm in the garden... but I must say, I am tempted. I will likely wait til my 6 month mark to request one but I'd still like to know if others have had experience with this...
Thanks for sharing your experience - a decline is exactly what i assume would happen if i were to request this early.

In my case even if it showed up early. Once you reached where you could submit. The system will block the request and tell you no HP was initiated.
