Increase Your Amex Credit Limit Twice In 90 DAYS

[@francineford-smith6264]

I have three cards with American Express… I was told that once you receive a total of 25,000 credit limit across-the-board you may open yourself up to financial review My three are a little over 30,000 and I have not been required to produce any financial documents. I truly appreciate my relationship with American Express. I could see myself downgrading or eliminating other bank cards and sticking to American Express only. Thank you for this insightful video🏆🏆🏆

[@jeffchristianson-ziebell]

I fully relate & agree with you. Amex has always been amazing with me albeit I’ve always been responsible with my cards. I sense it’s people who over manipulate lie or cheat who get flagged. Be honest & real with them & im confident they’ll reciprocate in kind. They’re one of the oldest most prestigious financial credit/charge card institutions around. Customer service is always top notch as well.

[@world_meets_boy]

pretty sure the general consensus was 25k on a single card, 35k combined "might" trigger a financial review. but it's definitely not a hard fast rule. i personally don't think your credit limit alone would automatically trigger it, if even at all. i know plenty of people, myself included, that have more then 25k on a single card and more then 35k cumulative and have never had a FR.

[@LazarLezar]

Got the BCE Amex card on my 18th bday, 1k limit, about 3 months later I just requested 3k and it was instantly approved, also just got approved for the gold card a few days ago.

[@keenanhenry95]

I also got the BCE as my first Amex card with a $2000 starting limit, and 96 days later, I requested a CLI to $7000, got $6000. It was saying that my account was too new when I tried from 91-94 days after account opening. I hope to get another 3x in July 🙃

How how increase the business line of credit with amex?

[@Brianpeckin]

Spend as a daily I had it 5k first month I spent 3k in a month now twenty lol I was shocked how fast they raised it

[@deweydewey]

I have requested CLI I was denied, they said I had reached my limit, usage 25% over all. I have Gold Green and Blue , so my Credit Limit over all is low compared to what you are saying. I have NAVY FED my Flagship card is about 20k so I’m confused

[@Anthonyjones-pq4ff]

Hey Carl my experience was a lot different then what you’re saying I’ve Requested serval time for a CL in each time I was refuse denied . So I moved CL from another Amex card with a Higher CL to my Blue cash card . That how I got A credit Incase .I have seen were they offer me the Preferred BC card .

[@husker_nation]

Just got the BCP and approved for a $5k limit. On a different note, are we trying to compare the size of our egos based on how high our credit limit is? I would say, most people don't need anything over a $25k credit limit, hence the financial review.

[@mickelsonfamilyhomestead]

Will they increase without you asking for an increase?

[@robertm8380]

They cap my limit at 900 Blue Preferred Card Amex. All my other Amex are higher limits. I hate the Blue Preferred Card the limit is so low.

You move the limit. Just transfer 1000 from another card. Easy.

I got approved for my first AMEX Delta Gold card on March 21st and a Hilton Surpass card on March 28 with 5K limits each. On April 29th I for some reason wanted to see if I was ambitious to apply for the Delta Platinum card and I was instantly approved!!! When can I ask for my first credit limit increase on my first two cards. I heard 60 days or is it 90days ?

[@chrisb6605]

Not sure I maybe I did the wrong steps but I got the Amex gold card. I met the spend limit in two months and then I applied and got the platinum card. They did do a second hard pull. Just a data point for you.

[@MrOPM-vc6ow]

How long ago was this? You’re the first I’ve heard this happen to unless you got the business card first then the personal. That’s usually when that happens.

Idk if I'm screwed or not. I got an email from several monitoring services that my SSN had been detected on the Dark Web so I put fraud alerts on all 3 big CRA's. Can I still get CLI's with these alerts? Idk....

[@jackpha7310]

You have to wait a full year from the date you applied the fraud alert. Otherwise there's alot of hassle you gota go through to apply for any credit including cli

[@MrStarmel39]

I’ve had my first Amex card since 2018 for 1000.00, every new I tried to get an increase and never got it. Fast forward to last year and they upgraded to blue cash preferred and I still can’t get an increase but now pay 95 annually. So I’m not understanding this video. I was told because I have 3 other Amex cards(platinum business, gold business and Amazon business) that I’m not allowed an increase on my personal card yet I got those business cards way after

What's your overall credit utilization?

But question, between my 3 cards I have a 22.5k limit. I once had a utilization report of like 13% and my score still dropped like 4 points which is below 30%. Why is that?

[@jeffwill814]

Did one of those cards go up in utilization by chance?? Total utilization-vs-Utilization on 1 card are 2 different points. I keep a TU around 2 to 3 %. But if I use a higher amount on one card and I don't pay it off by the reporting date, it will/can drop a couple pints. Once it's paid off or paid down extremely low, it'll go back up!👍🏾

Seeing all these limits in the comments makes me wonder how the hell I got an intro limit of 20k on my BCE. Not that I'm complaining of course.

[@odinsameasfirst2640]

You are going to hurt your credit score by having too much $$$ revolving credit available with high limit credit cards. The FICO score is inherently conservative. If someone has over 100K in revolving credit available, it will hurt your score. Even 50K-75K could hurt a credit score. It depends on how long you have had revolving credit in your established credit history. If someone has a credit report of 20 years or more, it may not matter as much.
