Does anyone know if Amex will counter with CLI offer?

DW has 50 day old $8k SL Prefered Blue Cash.

She put a few thousand through it so far.

Don't want to risk 3x request to get nothing.

If she asked for $24 (only wants $15k) and does not qualify will the offer less if she qualifies for less?

Congrats! I still don't get this 61/180 days thing with Amex. They never approved me based on that. However, always glad to hear good story like this.

The soonest you can request a CLI is 61 days after card opening and you'll either get up to 3x your limit for a normal starting limit or 2x your limit for a low limit card like $500 or $1000. You can request a CLI for 1 card every 181 days after an approval. You have to wait 91 days after a CLI decline.
