AmEx CLI After 90 Days Data Point

[PayAndProsper]

The title basically explains it all.

I've seen several posts citing a 6-month/6-statement/180-day wait period that is necessary between CLI approvals.

I opened my AmEx BCE August 23 with a $2,000 SL, requested and received my first 3x CLI to $6,000 102 days later on December 3, and requested a CLI to $19,000 96 days later on March 8, which was partially approved in the amount of $18,000, another 3x.

I just wanted to contribute the data point, in case it would help or interest anyone. I did not place this in approvals just because I was not posting looking for congratulations, but rather just contributing a DP. If the mods deem it better to be moved there, though, I have no objections.

ETA: on second thought, this would be more appropriate in approvals. Please, mods, move this for me. Thanks. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the dp's and great card growth for you as well. While I can't get any Amex cli's since a lot of my spend has gone elsewhere past year plus, I did have similar luck as you once in obtaining a consecutive cli sooner than the typical 181  days.

Have you tried to get them and been denied? I would recommend not giving up on it if that's what you want. I only have put a few hundred dollars of spend through the AmEx as I had multiple SUB's to hit. The worst that can happen is a denial. I say go for it if you haven't, and keep going for it if you have.

Thanks to everyone for the congrats and positivity.

Oh, I've been trying but I know that my overall Amex spent went down considersbly last year bc I put a lot on Chase and BoA so that's when I started getting the denial reason code of not enough spend relative to the credit limit. It's true and I can't deny it. I'm gonna probably use the Reserve more this year to use up these new credits with Uber and stuff.
