What was your balance with AmEx the day you requested your CLI?

---

Between $750-900. My CL at the time was $9000. I didn't want the 3x cli. I just requested $6000, to get a nice even number and I was approved. Good luck!

Lexie, Where is the Cli  button at  .I have never asked for a CLI, and my BCP is 2 yrs old. I Login, go to account management and then manage credit limit. And then it gives me the option " Will my charges be approved" And the 2 options are : Cash or General Purchase. If i enter an amount higher than my CL, is this where the CLI comes in effect.  MInd you this is my BCP and not a charge card. Thanks

It just means that your account was opened/created the same day that you were approved, which isn't the case everytime. Approval and activation days are not the benchmark dates for identifying eligibility for CLI, as mentioned earlier by SnackTrader and Lexie.

On my account home page, there is a line under the balance that says something like "available credit" and gives you the number. There's a little blue arrow next to it.

If you click on the arrow, it opens a little window. In the window is a clickie line for request an increase.
