Last month I asked Amex for a CLI of 2x my cards limit and was approved. In my post I was made aware that with Amex you can request upto 3x the amount. So that was a missed opportunity. My question is how long do you have to wait to request another increase with Amex.
181 days after an approval. 91 days after a denial.
My AMEX has been 91 days between approvals. I had to wait 181 days before my first approval but after that 91 days.
You received a customer-initiated credit line increase from Amex 3 months after being granted a previous customer-initiated credit line increase? That would be a drastic change in years-old policy. There are many of us here who got "we are unable to ... our policy requires 180 days between credit limit increases" (hence the oft-touted 181 days) letters in the mail for even asking a day early.
@DaWhole9 This would be a new data point for anyone. 181 days has always been reported and experienced by many of us. Can you do some quick research on your account that received the additional CLI at 91 days and report back here? It would be of great interest for the rest of us.
Here is my dp for my AMEX account. Opened my account 1/22
First CLI 7/22
2nd CLI 10/22
3rd CLI 1/23
This thread reminded me I haven't asked for a CLI in awhile from amex so I just tried and nothing happens when I click "request credit line increase". It just reloads the page... Anyone else have this issue?

I have just over a week to get the 91 days from last cli. Think I will give it a spin for giggles since I've put some good spend on it and pif the last 3 months. Don't need it but why not, lol.
