AMEX CLI SP/HP if you Decline

Hey all,

 

I haven't requested a credit limit increase in quite a while on my Amex BCE (15.1k) and I have the urge to push it higher if possible. The thing is, I have relatively high utilization that won't be fully paid off for awhile (took advantage of 0% APR to remodel portions of my condo).

 

My question is, if I ask for a CLI to say, $25k, and they either deny me or give me a low CLI, will I only receive a SP if they deny or if I decline the CLI?

 

Not that I necessarily would decline the CLI, but just out of curiosity. Thanks!

YMMV but in 99% yes it will be a SP for a CLI 

So go get em and good luck

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

You changed your post/edit I would get UTL down before requesting a CLI with Amex

Check email that message is not always a denial 

We have seen cases of getting a email with an approval after getting that message 

Good luck

Or a request for you to send a 4506T.  Just happened to me, got the 7-10 day message about 4 days ago, and today got the 4506T
