I can see that you're a major contributor to the forum, so there's no doubt in my mind that you know about AmEx 3x cli...Is there any reason why you didn't request more? Just curious what the logic is behind it. Maybe I can learn something.
Thanks for your kind words. AMEX turned me down several times in the past when I request CLIs so I think I was a little gun shy. I asked for $15K because I have several other cards at that limit. I've gained almost $50,000 in CLs in the last few months so I didn't want to overdo it.
Who knows? Maybe in 6 months I'll ask for more to match my $25K NASA.
My revolving credit age is still fairly young so I'm trying to keep that in mind as I grow.
I only got 3500 starting limit. will be asking for the full 3x on December 9th to 10.500. so we will see. if not its not a big deal as i have more cards than i can use. just want some Amex luv.
1k lol denied 3x cli -reason was too many new accounts opened (4) and not enough credit history with them even though I had there other card since 2005.

EDIT: I just texted him and he has the Gold.
15k is not r small potatoes. Lol. 1/2 the people don't have that limit with Amex. Not everyone makes 100k a year. SMH.
Btw mine is 9500 and don't need anymore. Last thing I need is AA from Amex.
I got $3500 to start last month. Was my first Amex & biggest limit (at that point). Can't wait for day 61 so I can try for $10k.

This is probably a dumb question but I keep seeing it mentioned (including in the post above my last one), but what does AA mean? I'm sure it's something obvious. lol
