Amex auto cli + 90 day cli

[Anonymous]

So, I've asked Amex for a cli twice, once at 61 days and again 3 months later. Both were denied. Then, about two months ago, I charged a bunch of furniture to my Amex and racked up about 70% usage. Pretty soon after I received a 3k auto cli! (I also got one on my csp). Then, my credit score dropped about 20 points because my usage had increased from 5% to 70%... Annoying but it should bounce back now that the balance is paid off. So, I decided to pull the trigger and ask for another CLI so that I won't get to 70% should I need to make another large charge. I asked for 18k from 11 and was approved!!! I really didnt think I'd be approved due to my previous attempts and recent score drop so it was a nice surprise! Amex didn't seem to mind that I left a balance on my card for a month and they definitely seemed to like seeing some larger than normal charges!

Congrats,

I've got a CLI coming up early Feb 2015. My BCE is @ 21k and my ED is @8.5. I might try the BCE x3 just to see what'll happen. LOL!

Thanks all! Hah madmann26 I'm definitely curious to see how that goes! Good luck!! I was too scared to ask for full 3x but now I'm wishing that I did
