I last had success with a Macy's AMEX CLI on 2/7. I requested about ten days ago, but it was denied for insufficient time since my last review. I tried again just now, asking to go from $5K to $10K and I was instantly approved for the full amount!
The last approval letter gave me an EQ score of 822 (out of 900, so this must be an internal score for Macy's). My FICO08 EQ score on here at present is 801 and is my highest score of the major CRAs. I only use the AMEX line occasionally, making a grocery store purchase earlier in the month on the card. Macy's AMEX is currently offering 3X Plenti points for grocery and gas, which makes it one of my best cards for grocery. However, I'm using Barclay Rewards at grocery to help meet the spend bonus there.
Time to go update my siggy!

Wow... that's a fantastic CLI!
The Macy's Amex is definitely one that I would like to pick up when the time is right (i.e. when my activity level cools off... haha). That Plenti deal for gas/groceries you mention sounds quite lucrative as well; I didn't pay much attention to Plenti at first but the more I hear about it I'm starting to see the error of my ways.
Again, congrats and thanks for sharing!
Nice, I just got my Macy's Amex in the mail yesterday. Can't wait for the cli's. Great job!

We'll keep our fingers crossed. Just make sure to use the AMEX line occasionally for best results. Also, the recents CLIs are SP, so that's good news.
Congratulations!!

Congrats SunriseEarth! It's good to see this card start giving better CLIs.
is this a MOD only thread? LOL. J/K. Congrats, OP. Good to see MODs with real-world posts. Makes me feel human....
Congratulations! I just recently got a $1,500 increase with them. It makes me think I should give that a try.
