Please let us know if you get the FR. Your household income isn't something like $million a month is it?
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 7:56a

nope i just told you what it was 149K household. no need to lie.

i think if you ask for 25K or more you have to provide optionally 2 years tax or decline.

no hards were pulled (i just checked my 3 in 1)

Well, last night I put through a Starwood AMEX CLI. I went from $17,000 to $30,000 with instant approval.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 7:59a

I got 34K with no docs provided and household income of less than 30K. This was several months ago and not a peep from AMEX. I also have 3 other cards with lower limits (around $2k each) and a Plat charge card.

rigor, apologies, I don't know why I'm awake this early on a Saturday.

Darn, it looks like AMEX is giving away free money! I'm off to request my share.

Thanks, Rigor. I'm not an AOR gamer who is concerned about utilization, but I decided to followup on your advice for the heck of it. I just obtained an increase in the CL on AMEX Blue Cash from $25K to $30K. I probably should have asked for more. It would appear that the AMEX mainframe is in a giving mood these days...........

Sweet. My Costco AMEX went from 20k to 30k. I've had it for about 16 months now, starting with 2k initially.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 9:33a

I just did this primarily for entertainment. My Blue went from $10K to $24,900 immediately.

I got mine bumped yesterday to 24000. from 15000, cards 6mo old started at 2k limit. Has had 7 increases. Ive also in that time pushed more money through it then most will buy in a year
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 9:59a

i had a call for a financial review in december...went on a trip and didnt recieve the call till i got back. they called me before i sent any papers in saying there was a mistake an no financial review...any one else get this?

Thanks too bad I had already consolidated some old AMEX cards on to one. Should help for a May AOR
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 10:59a

Same here, I got a total of 40K increases on 4 AMEXs I have.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 11:14a

My bf requested an increase in Dec on his HHonors AMEX, which was capped at 24k. They denied it at the time, but he got a letter in the mail yesterday saying it had been bumped to 31k for "responsible credit." He's had the card three years, and has been technically (tax wise) unemployed for five months. The card has a minimal balance right now. Gotta love AMEX.

I have had an AMEX for six years and asked for a bumpup from 10k to 25k, immediate approval. I put household income of $150k
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 11:28a

have had card for about 2 years. When last thread came up I went from 6k to 17k. Did it again to 30k and was immediately approved with 120k income listed.

get ready for a financial review
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 11:44a

Does this result in a hard pull? I assume yes since it's asking for HHI.

mmaxSavings said: Does this result in a hard pull? I assume yes since it's asking for HHI.No. See this thread.

Interesting, went to one card from 10000 to 22500. Was thinking about increasing second card limit but don't want to screw with them too much.

"Congratulations!
Your request to increase your line of credit to $24,000 has been approved and will be available for use within 15 minutes."If only everything in life were this simple...

just went from 14.5k to 31k. Thanks.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 12:16p

17k to 30k in 5 seconds...not bad.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 12:16p

my starwood goes from 10k to 20k (income: 120k)
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 12:27p

Thanks. Wish I had known when I requested to go from 4.5 to 10 on my new starwood. I was able to bump my hilton from 10 to 24,500 though. Too recent of CLI on my Blue already.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 12:56p

just bumped my CL from 18k to 30k... Thanks FWers
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 1:51p

Delta: 10k to 24.9k
Blue: 16.5k to 30k

Nice......
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 1:56p

wow that was simple.

Increased blue from 10 to 20.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 2:34p

blue 10k to 24k...didn't want to push it...
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 2:37p

Wow. Something weird is going on!
I had requested a CLI a few weeks ago (when I had just received the card) and AM3X required financial verification for the CLI (but not an FR).
Today (just 1 billing statement later) requested from 31k to 35k and instantly approved.

Thanks OP!
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 2:41p

5k to 17k, 50k income. Not bad for a card I haven't touched in years.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 3:13p

Awesome find!!!


(although I kinda feel like I just bought a $99 xBox 360 from Home Depot and now I'm waiting to see if they'll ship it or send a cancel email...)
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 3:27p

Wow that was easy! Almost insane! Got 24,900 within seconds. Thanks OP!
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 3:54p

Last CLI I did for my AMEX was back in Nov. Seeing all the instant approvals for quite high limits I decided to give it a go. 15K to 30K, with income at 110K.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 4:00p

Wow, $10,500 to $32,500 on Starwood. Too bad I only have 1 AMEX w/ a CL right now.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 4:03p

I only did $3k to $6k on my old Blue Student but that's double what it used to be, lol.
Can't do it on my Blue Cash since it says I already have one CLI in the last 30days.
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 4:21p

24,900 on my blue card instantly. thanks for the heads up rigor!
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 4:34p

Brought all 3 AMEX cards to 24K Thanks OP!
posted: Feb. 3, 2007 @ 4:40p

It is asking "Increase Line of Credit to this amount: $.00" and "Your Personal Financial Information: Yearly Income: $.00"

Are you guys are getting this?

Is it instant? or I did't get instant cl increase?
