I got my first AmEx with about eight months of credit history in March of 2013. My file was thin, with a bank issued secured card and a new discover, and only about $38K of income. Thankfully they approved me for $1K. Honestly, the $1K at the time felt enormous next to my $500 secured limit and $750 Discover It limit.
Fast forward less than two years, and thanks to their generous credit limit policies and the wealth of knowledge on this website, I received a CLI from them to $25K. Income is about the same at $40K (which I thought would be my achillies heel this request) and my score has gone from the 717 they originally pulled to about a 775. Thanks to whoever put the definitive Amex 3x guide together, because it is quite the resource.
CLIs were as follows
$1K
$3K
$9K
$16.1K
$25K
Congratulations!
Keep both your credit and your body in top shape!
