Given your prior history with AmEx and your current card collection assuming your Experian score is around a 670 give or take, I'd feel pretty confident in applying.

Re: chances on approval for amex everyday?

eq: 646 tu: 656 ex: 680. i think they took a dip i looked before and couldve sworn they were all a few points higher, anyhow i got approved for 1k limit. i got the 14 day message, so i checked the status and it didnt change after 24 hours and called and they approved me over the phone. i've heard of the 3x cli for amex? is it actually possible? or just something a few people get lucky with? sorry for the late reply! bow to focus on lowering the balances and trying to build up points.

Re: chances on approval for amex everyday?

After reading the x3 CLI at activation thread and then from knowing what I know my own experiences, I find that it's all over the place. As always, YEMV.

 

I was able to x3 CLI my AMEX BCP at activation. Not sure if I can request the x3 at day 61, or if I have to wait  the 181 days.

Thinking about holding off on day 181 to play it safe.

Hmm...

Once you're approved for a CLI, you must wait 181 days before you ask for another.
