Thanks for chiming in. I wonder what the advantage of waiting the 60 days is then.

Id assume the advantage is they'd have a chance to monitor your usage, which increases your chances? I'm thinking of going for it since I've already dropped about 3k on my PRG an paid it off before the first cycle.

Question for CEM13. What is a temporary limit? When you were approved did it specifically say temp limit? An once you got the card they automatically raised you to 5k at activation?

I was approved instantly for $2000.  I think it said, "You have $2000 for immediate use".

The card arrived and the paperwork showed the credit limit of $5,000 before activation.

I called to activate and requested x3 for $15k but was countered with $10k.

Where did you apply if you don't mind me asking, coz usually amex don't show approval amount when you apply online. I just got approved for Delta Gold, PRG and the Green card, and even though the Delta was an instant approval, i had to call in to find out my credit limit.
