AMEX BCE CLI

[Anonymous]

I got my AMEC BCE back in Feb, but I havent done the 61 day CLI yet. I had a balance that I paid off this Fri and its already showing that my balance is $0. My due date is May 2nd. Should I wait until my next statement cuts or should I go ahead and try to get a CLI?

You can do it now... lots of people miss the 61 days by 2 or 3 days and get declined and then figure out that it's 2 days away and go back in 3 and do it again and get approved.

So to my understanding, Amex let's you request for CLI on your 60 day mark? I thought it was abouut 6 months with every lender.

just the number onthe back of your card, theres a option for CLI, i thing 3x your exisitng limit is the norm but the system cant go over 25k. my starting limit was 7500 i think. when i did my CLI i asked for 20k and was appooved. by far my highest CL ~~

two questions..

(1)how do you figure out your activation date if you don't remember it...?

(2)Is it any difference for 61 day and 62 day?

Anyone know the answer?

I called and asked. The CSR said that it was 61 days from the day the account was opened, not activated. He gave me the date the account opened. I tried, but was denied because even though it was >60 days since I got my latest card, it had only been 5 months since my last requested increase. So i will try again mid May.
