Date With The LUV Button!

[John060675]

Well, today is my 30th day that my AMEX Delta Platinum CC has been open.  I converted to AMEX Blue Cash, but I still have not received it yet.  Anyway, I digress.  I called today to AMEX and they said I had to wait until 12:01am eastern time to call for the CLI, which is only 10:01 my time.

My question is whether people have had more luck hitting the LUV button online or calling in to request the CLI.  Or, is there any difference?

I appreciate your experience with this.  Thanks!

Would wait a couple weeks longer. Let the 30 days "breathe" a little bit.

  I have been counting down the days until day 31 to try.  I was hoping for a better answer, but you are probably right.

However, I am not worried about a FR if that is the reason to wait a little longer.

Well, guess what you can do is just go ahead and call Cust service.- and ask them is it ok or not. They do soft pulls once you are a customer for CLI's in most cases- so instead of trying online why don't you just call them.

Keep us posted.

Netpanther,

Thank you for your opinion.  I will try calling them to see.  Wish me luck!  Only 5 hours and 23 minutes to go!  Not that I am counting.

Thanks again.

Have you established a hx. w/ them in the last 30 days? I.e.- charged, and then paid it off, or charged and every week paid a portion so that it is almost pif?

Reason I am asking is that if there is a hist. they will be more amicable- otherwise- if you have not charged a dime they might hesitate.

[John060675]

Yes, I charged and PIF with them on time.

Well, I am not sure how my "date" went.  I called AMEX, and I applied for a CLI.  The rep said that I would receive a response within 7 to 10 business days concerning it.  I asked her if this meant I did not get it, and she said she has no idea.

Is this a normal thing when you call in, or is this a denial?

Thank you.

[John060675]

You make it sound like it is a denial.  Oh well, such is life.
