Re: EARLY 3x credit line increase with amex!

I wonder if they would loosen up on the six month requirement between CLIs too at this time. Just a thought.

Re: EARLY 3x credit line increase with amex!

Did not work for me, I got the 7-10 day notice.  I've had the card 35 days, starting limit 3500, requested 10,500.  Have paid in full over $1000 twice before the first statement had even cut..  Chatted with CS after decline and they said call tomorrow and talk to the "team".  Yikes.  I guess I blew it.

Wow that's fantastic! Congratulations everyone. Amex denied my 181 day increase last month so I tried again today to see if I was lucky like you all but no dice...


Same here, but it was worth a try.  Denial reason is that I was denied in the past 90 days.   So it looks like they're not easing on that point.

Re: EARLY 3x credit line increase with amex!

Congrats on the increase!  Sometimes there are exceptions to the plan!  Congrats to all those who were lucky to also get an early increase!

FICO scores are your calling card to the business world. Build a negative reputation and those doors are hard to open, find that perfect balance of credit responsibility and those doors open when you desire them.

Hopefully 30-31 days of having the account open might be the new norm for Amex if this keeps up!
