Ask for amex x3 cli or wait?

[Anonymous]

I recently was approved for 3 cards all on the same day. One of which was the amex bce. I've read a lot of people asking for x3 cli upon activation. I'm a bit nervous to do so given the fact that I opened 2 other cards the same day. Should I give it a shot or wait? Don't want to start this relationship off on the wrong foot.

If it matters, I will be closing some of my accounts since I was able to add these 3

Welcome to MyFico.  Congrats on all the approvals.. If you are nevous about asking then it is best to wait.  But asking now does not throw a wrench in your relationship with Amex whatsoever.

Also, the new account will report even if closed afterwards.  So keep it at least for a year to pad utilization.  How much was your Amex approved for?

This can be a good indication of your odds for a quick CLI.

2k

Meant that I would close some of my old accounts that aren't worth keeping now. 1 cc and 1 consumer card.

Yep, that definitely matters. That's the lowest interest rate, which means they like your profile. The $2K SL is a little low, but that may not matter. Hit it on activation.

I agree with CAPTOOL.  But what are your scores and how many inquiries?

What are the limits on your other cards? I am asking these questions to see why your starting limit is 2k.  They use the information in your entire file to make the initial decision as to how much to approve you for. So I hope you don't mind me asking..

And how old is your file? Short history could be a factor.
