I've had my AMEX EveryDay for almost three months now, but my credit limit just wasn't high enough for the spend I've been doing these past few months. Yesterday I applied for a 1.5k credit limit increase (2k to 3.5k) and I was instantly approved! I was kinda shocked considering I'm a student and my income isn't the best.

Edit: Just realized this should probably be in the approval section.
