AMEX Cash Magnet Approval

SA0012 · ‎02-10-2021

Applied for an Amex Cash Magnet. 15 Months 0% APR with $200 bonus offer after 1K spend.

Approved with Soft Pull - $12.9K initial limit, I asked them if they can match my $30K BCP limit, they said you have to wait until you get the card to even send a credit limit request.

Do you guys know any backdoor Amex phone numbers or tricks to request a match with my BCP card? I really want a higher limit on this new card because of the 0% APR.

Also, I do not know AMEX does new card approvals with soft pulls.

Nice approval, strong SL! Congrats.

I'm not sure that I've heard of Amex SL recons outside of reallocating a limit from another card. Others can help more with that subject though. Worst case you give it a couple of months and take the limit up to $30k via SP CLI.

Thank you. Yeah, I will probably do that. I'm planning to spend to the limit and pay it off in the next 2 months and request a 3X CLI on the 61st day.
