Very First AmEx CLI !!!

So, I decided with the return of the LHeartVE button, that I would go ahead and give it a try since I'm at 94 days on my still shiny BCP. My SL was $8K and I asked for the whole 3x; because why not right?! My grandfather always said, "A closed mouth doesn't get fed." and if she was nearby and heard him say it, my grandmother would follow up and say "Never be afraid to ask for what you want because the worse someone can say is no; and if they do, you just move on to plan b, but also bide your time to ask again later in case they change their mind."

 

Well, I wasn't turned down (thank goodness), and I did get an increase to $24K!! I'm soooo thrilled b/c this gives me a good pad for utilization.

Perhaps "lost in online translation" but when people say 3X, and with an SL of $8K...your new $24K CL is appropriate...$32K would have been 4 times your initial limit. 
Nicely done...Congratulations on your AMEX Approval!🥂🎉🍾

Yayyy set a calendar reminder for 6mo. to request even more. My BCP went 6k->18k@61ish days->35k@6mo+61days(their counter to my requested 40). Congrats.

Yep, it sure was lost in translation! That's why I love this community! You can always count on someone to steer you in the right direction Smiley Happy

 

I thought the 3x meant you add the multiplication of the original CL x 3 to the current CL (ex: 8*3=24 then 24+8=32)!! LMBO!! You live & learn! Thanks so much for the info and the congrats!
