I chickened out

Today is day 180 and my $6k BCE was eligible for some Amex luven. Considering my TCL is currently at 2x my gross income ( modest gross income ) I hit the love button and asked for $11k.  BAMM  Instant approval  This is now my highest CL I know I left money on the table  Ill make up for it in December when Im eligible again.

>3/2016 EX 644 CK-TU 642 CK-EQ 660 WalMart- 671.
>5/2023 All 3 reports 840ish (F8) F9s = 850 but my app finger is still twitching

Don't feel bad - you more than doubled the CL on your BCE. I wish I could get CLI's like that! Good work!

Re: I chickened out

wait, so every 180 days you're eligible for 2x your current credit line??? someone clear this up for me? either way, congrats on your CLI OP, that's awesome. sometimes it feels better to ease into these limits and work at it with time!
