Amex 61 day 3x CLI and New App question.

Hey gang, quick few questions for you. I got my Amex Delta Gold almost two months ago (61 day on March 6th). Question is I was previously a card holder but haven't had a card with them since 1999. I have no other cards with them besides the Delta Gold. Think I would still be eligible for the 61 day 3X CLI? Currently a $1K CL and have about a $200 balance. And I was also wondering if I were to apply for the BCE (love the backdating lol), should I do that after applying for the CLI or before? Sorry if this was already asked.

Apply for CLI, then apply for new card.

Sweet, thanks for the advice. I was just concerned that maybe I wouldn't be eligible for the 61 Day 3x CLI because I had a card with them before but that was in 1999.

If you had this card and had not requested a CLI in over 6 months and applied and received a new card, you should be able to do the 61 day CLI on it if you wanted too... it's every 6 months and if no requests, then it would be first one at 61 days.

Thanks CreditAddict!  Oh btw, in a few days it will be 4 statements for both my NFCU cards. Guess I'll be hitting the CLI button there too!  I just hope I don't get the "A condition exists which prevents the processing of your request." message. I know I have a joint card but I don't understand why that would be a problem. I'd prefer to not call in, a SP CLI would be nice.

that condition message is just a computer glitch thing... usually if you clear out cookies and start over or wait a couple hours you can get it to work.

Just read through the Amex 3x CLI on the sticky. This has some real life experiences.
