61 Day AMEX CLI

Just to add to the growing knowledge of AMEX 60 day CLI's.  I opened a Gold Card with them a year ago, and in May I added the Delta Skymiles card with a 2K CL.  I called in today, the 61st day and requested an increase of $4K to $6K based on the three times the amount figure found on this forum.  It was automatically granted and available 15 minutes later.  Too easy!  I'll ask for another increase in 6 months because I want to use this as my daily card.  I have a WF with an $11K CL and a NFCU with $10K.

Not to make things confusing, but when I got mine (4k to 7k on Blue Cash Everyday) I had never carried a balance - I let my balance post and then I PIFed every month.

Re: 61 Day AMEX CLI

Just to add to the thread, Amex also gave me a CLI after 60 days ( 7.7K to 15K ).

Re: 61 Day AMEX CLI

I PIF each month on all my cards.

 

Not sure why they started me with such a low CL.  I had been with them almost a year.  $175K household income and no debt.  Want to get this up to use as my everyday card for the miles.  I live in Atlanta, Delta's home, and I travel a lot for work and pleasure.  Want the miles.  Maybe because of my other cards and limits?

 

Anyway, glad to have it and glad to have a $6K cl now.

Hi Bungalow,

 

I was using the automated system that came up when I called in to request a product change to the newer Blue Cash everyday card.

Re: 61 Day AMEX CLI

Gotcha...I just called a few days ago & got the blue everyday upgrade as well.  I never heard the increase prompt on the phone...

 

...maybe I'll call back! Smiley Very Happy

Re: 61 Day AMEX CLI

Ahh... I dunno whether it was a prompt or not.  It could have just been option in their menu.
