Two AMEX cards - How to apply for CLI on both cards

[CreditCharmer]

My first card with Amex is about 1 year old. I just requested an increase from 12k to 24k about 1 month ago.

Am I able to request my 61 day 3x CLI on my Cash Magnet Card or do I have to wait 180 days since I’ve already received and increase on my Everyday Rewards Amex last month?

It just so happens that the time for CLI are falling around the same time for both cards.

Will they really make me wait until April before I can get an Increase on My Cash Magnet?

Hmmmm

You will have to wait 181 days.

Amex CLI timelines apply to your entire Amex profile, not to individual cards.

Yes you need to wait another 6 months.

While you are waiting for the six months to pass, you could be working on cards with Chase, Citi, or Discover.  Don't put all your eggs in the Amex basket.

There is no way around it. 6 months have to pass between CLIs across your Amex accounts.

OP, you will need to wait the 181 days from when your CLI was given, not from when the Cash Magnet was issued.

What is your limit on the CM?

You can do a reallocation from some of the “seasoned” limit, likely part of that original $12k pre-CLI limit. It may only allow you to move $5k, but it is something to help with utilization while you wait.

I have tried to move $10k on some cards, multiple attempts on different pairs of revolvers where that seems like it should work. System Not Available or some tripe. When I lower it to a $5k request, those usually go through.

I have a 8k Limit on my Cash Magnet. I don’t “Need” to reallocate any funds from one card to another. I simply wanted to take advantage of all opportunities to grow my cards. There’s no urgency here, I just wanted to know if I had to wait or if I could do it now.
