Successful AMEX 3x CLI to $27k!

After having my BCP since 2014 with a lowly $1k starting limit and never getting a full 3x CLI I tried once again expecting to be met part way and suprisingly I finally got it! Went from $9k > $27k. Woo hoo! Many years of work from going from carrying balances to PIF are paying off!

Some stats 

MyFICO EQ 771 

EX via Amex 771 

Income $186k 

AAoA 16 years 

 

Edit: I did get an error after submitting and a 7-10 day notification, but when I refreshed the homepage it had the new limit.

Re: Successful AMEX 3x CLI to $27k!

That is awesome! Congrats. I can't seem to get a CLI for my Delta Skymiles card. Upgraded from Gold to Platinum but keep getting turned down for CLI. Still stuck at $1k. Was recently approved for Blue Cash Preferred with $2k limit, which I'm happy about.
