Interesting development from American Express

Just checked my e-mails and received one from Am Ex entitled Credit Limit increase.

Due to my excellent manner of handling my account my new BCE limit is now $15,000. I have a TE card with a $15,000 limit and was given a BCE in July for $2000 which was raised to $6000 in September. 

This is obviously their attempt to retain their Costco customers at the same limit as in their TE cards.

Do you have the Costco Am Ex card?  I figured they wanted to do all they can to retain the Costco card holders.

It's not coincidence. Most targeted TE cardholders got a BCE with the same starting limit as their starting limit on the TE.

My TE was just 3X increased to $18K so fingers crossed I get a similar email soon. Be nice to have my BCE go to $18K and the Amex TE convert at the same limit to Citi.

I didn't get the same starting limit on my BCE. My TE card was opened in January with a $5000 limit and raised in March to $15,000. My BCE was prequalified in July for $2000 and I got a 3x cli last month to $6000.

They matched my current limit on the TE card today.
