Amex requires a card holder to wait at least 30 days after approval before a CLI!!!

Amex requires a card holder to wait at least 30 days after approval before a CLI. Has anyone heard different?

It is true.

But why would anybody need a CLI every month? That sounds to me like a surefire way to get an FR.

True.. this just changed as people were getting CLIs on activation just a few weeks ago.

I just know it's required with the Delta Skymiles card, not sure about the others.

I think this is true because i received my cc in the mail today and tried to get a cli and was transferred to customer service, put on hold and then disconnected.  i will wait 30 days to try again.

There were new Delta card members getting CLIs on activation last week... Plus, my wife was declined a CLI tonight on her new Amex Clear. So I don't think the new policy is specific to Delta.
