Amex 3x cli fail… again

[bigDEElight]

Join the "can't get an increase" club lol. For me, it's always my fico (which is always mysteriously old, despite CONSTANT recent soft pulls by AMEX AR). I'll give it a shot again next month.

Have read many approvals with balance. One poster at 38% still got 3x cli. I would just pull trigger.  Get it over with. Unless you started with very hgh limit.

Looks like my 61 Day CLI failed too...

Because I just got a CLI on my BSP in July.

Gotta wait until January now.

What you mean failed? I don't think 61 days per card. I think across all accounts. So 180 days from last approval.

Yeah, but they failed to tell me this at first. They went through the whole rigmarole of putting in a review with underwriting and a 48hr wait before finally telling me that It was denied due to my last AMEX anything CLI being in July.

Well you gained valuable knowledge now to help others.

Yeahyeahyeahyeah.

I was looking forward to a more practical limit on my ED seeing as my BSP is already at $12,000.

I recently asked for a cli for the 61 days and I was approved.

However, I didn't ask for the full 3x because didn't want to go over 25K.

I also had a balance of almost 2K as well (Charged 6K during the first month). 

I say give it a try and good luck
