AMEX CLI > 25k

[Anonymous]

Yes, there have been a lot of counter examples to "going from less than 25K to more than 25K requires tax documents", but about 18 months ago when I asked for an increase from my (exactly) $25K, I got asked for tax documents.   But clearly there are other variables determining who does and who doesn't get asked.

Congrats! Thanks for sharing.

Previous limit was $24,300.   My 180 days was up so I requested a CLI from $24,300 to $35,000.  If they wanted to do a FR and ask for 4506-t, that would of been fine with me.  They countered immediately with a $29,300 offer.  I accepted it.  So I guess the moral of this post, don't be afraid to ask for more than 25k with AMEX.

Congrats.  There's hope for me yet

Very nice, congrats!

My initial BCP is a $10k limit and by 61 days are up next month. Part of me wants to ask for $30k, but I think I might stick with $25k until I build up a history on that account. I have had other Amex accounts for years, so maybe that will help. I also just opened up an Amex High Yield saving account and dropped $10k in it (0.85% APY), but I'm not sure if they exchange info with the two divisions.

How much spending do you do on that card? I also noticed you have a very nice CSP CL. I routinely put $3-8k/month through mine, but they wouldn't give me more than $16k (plus $9k on another Chase card).

Hmm this is intresting I was fully expecting to give them my tax documents to prove I have the income to move past the 25k mark when my next 6 month CLI request comes around. Congrats!

Congrats on the CLI!!!! And wow, you have over 200k of available CL? I make 45k/yr, is it possible for me to get up to 90k of available credit (without FR)?
