AMEX CLI Advice

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

I have a Delta Gold at 9k that I barely use, opened in Feb 2015, and a AMEX BCP at 4.5k that I use regularly for groceries and I'm also taking advantage of the intro 0% offer, this card was opened in Sept...

My CLI day (180 from my last AMEX CLI) is coming up and I'm contemplating which card would be better to get the CLI on. From my understanding you can't move limits until one card is at 13 months/statements.

Do I just go for the most money avail, ask for a 3x on the Delta and eventually PC the card and move limits in April? The other option would be to get the BCP up, since I'll keep that card indef (or until a nerd). Even with the Delta, the PC options will be limited.

Long term I do need a MR stash, so maybe going for 27k on the Delta could hurt/hinder getting an AMEX ED later when I ditch the Plat...

Thanks in advance,
Oz

If you CLI the Delta, I think the 13-statements clock restarts: It may be 13-statements later that you could move the limit to another card. 

As to leaving room, I did that in June, only took the Delta to $12k with the Hilton at $10k, and got SPG $10k, EDP $15k, and then PRG, so I'd leave some room for future apps.
