I like to hear from other Amex folks...has anyone have success asking for a CLI on a new Amex revolving account?
I went through the automated system (call in) when I activated my Amex and requested a CLI.
It stated I would have to wait 60 days to request a CLI and 6 months for another CLI thereafter.
I have a Amex revolving account that was activated today.
Thanks in advance........

I got my first CLI two months after opening the card. But it was a small increase. It's possible to get the CLI sooner, since technically one haven't requested one within 6 months. After the first CLI, I now always have to wait every 6 months.

I don't think this is true, because I am pretty sure the rule is no CLI within first 60 days of account opening, or within 6 months of last CLI. It says it somewhere on Amex's page.

"Small increase" as in how many %? 20%? 30%?
Was it an auto increased or a requested increased? Soft? Hard IQ?
Again, I requested my cli within 60 days. Opened aug 09 and got the increase in october. I received a $500 increase which gave me a new $2500 limit. I'm now at $5000
edit: card was opened in 2009
Are there any recent examples?
I got my Blue and 2 months later request/received a CLI. I tried for a CLI 2 months after that on my Clear but it won't let me do that for 6 months because of my increase on the Blue. The cards are apparently in the same "league." I haven't read of any recent examples with less than 2 months.
So the norm for CLI is after 60 days. I guess Amex policy stands.
For the ones who received the CLI after 60 days, the standard requested is 3 x the current credit limit?
Anyone got declined for asking 3 x the current credit limit?

I had a $3600 CL on my Blue Cash and at 60 days I asked for a $6400 CLI to make my CL $10k. I didn't get approved but I didn't get declined. They countered with $5700 CL, so I accepted.
Congrats on the successful increases after 60 days....I have mine "reminded" to alert me of an increase at the 61 days mark so I can call to request a CLI. I will be using the CC hard and PIF each month til than. Fingers crossed.
