Re: Amex - Shifting Credit Limits

Just to add another data point, I'll confirm that you can reallocate personal-to-personal, business-to-business, or business-to-personal on one card with a minimum of 30 days between requests (for calendar purposes, use 31 days).  The $500 vs $1000 minimum is profile-dependent, and any existing charges or authorizations will increase that amount.  There does not seem to be a rule that cards must be x months old prior to moving limits as of at least a few years ago; I have moved limits to and from new cards with no issues.

Do they give any reasons?

Re: Amex - Shifting Credit Limits

I shred the letters without opening. 
I do remember one saying she had to wait 13 months. (It was phrased differently).

It's been almost 24 now and denied again.

It's not a big deal, but my point is that it's not a given that it can get done.

 

I have never had an ounce of trouble with Chase, but DW had her Chase accounts shut down. You just never know

Thank you.  I was asking because I was genuinely curious as to the reasons given.  I have another CL move planned, but am making use of a 0% BT offer (on a different AMEX card that won't be involved) and was curious (since my usage is higher on that card) if the reasons given were related to happenings with her accounts/status/AR, logistics (like too soon/not leaving enough on donor card, business to personal, etc), or Amex musings/moon phases/etc.  

 

So I was asking to see if my higher UT on that card (or something else) might make my pending move a no go.

I should try that.

 

One month of mail, with everything set to paperless.
