Snack's Third Amex CLI

SnackTrader · ‎02-22-2014

Hit 182 days today and requested the full 3X CLI. Amex didn't want to give me much more, so I only got a $400 increase. I'm happy with that, and look forward to the next 3X CLI.

In the meantime, I'm probably going to request for a Citi CLI this week. I'm also going to SD my Barclaycard Arrival in favor of my CapOne because I've redeemed over $500 in rewards and don't want to put any more travel expenses on it. I'm looking into getting the CSP or Venture for my next travel expenses instead, which will render the Arrival useless. Only 3 more months until the AF hits, so it will require a few phone calls to Barclays to downgrade the card or close it.

Wish me luck!

P.S. Still gardening strong! 9 months now!

In My Wallet: Amex BCP (12/12) $50,000, Chase Freedom (12/12) $16,500, Cap1 Quicksilver (6/12) $14,000, Barclaycard Rewards (5/13) $10,500, Citi Prestige (4/16) $30,000

Last App: June 27, 2015

Congrats! Let us know what happens with the Arrival when your AF hits.. I'm very curious if Barclays will allow you to downgrade to non-AF card.

Best Of Luck!

And here's to some Magic come your way for a successful Citi CLI when you request it. They been very receptive on this end.

Congrats!

Even a light limit nudge beats the reverse.

Bravo and congrats

Who says gardening doesn't pay off ....Wooo Hooo

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
