Amex BCE 3x CLI 6k to 18k!! 13 months after first card!!

Today I was bored for a little bit and just applied for a CLI with Amex BCE. I know I was able to ask for one right away, but I waited nearly two months anyway. I was waiting to get use to the card and do some Amex offers and get a free FICO, sadly no FICO yet. Okay here's some stats:

My current credit line is: $18,000 February 2nd, 2016.

My starting credit line was: $6,000 November 17th, 2015.

 

First CLI: February 2nd, 2016. $6,000 --> $18,000.

 

CLI was soft pull.
Spent $1,000+ and Paid in full every month, except last month. I let $540 cut last month which is 9% of $6,000. I did this because I thought it might help my free FICO show up faster, but it didn't work.


Some may know that I went from 1k to 13k with Discover IT in 6 months and that was amazing. Discover card is great, but I have to show some due respect to American Express.

I respect you Amex, thank you very much.

You have to understand when I first got the card, I met the $1,000 spend on the first day. And I paid down $250 on the third day, then they had the balls Smiley Happy to pay me my $250 bonus that same day. That is very fast and really cleared up any doubts I was having about Amex. Today I was at 6K and I only requested 18k to see what they might counter offer me. Surprise!!! No counter offer for me, just a straight instant approval.


I mean this is pretty crazy, I only got my first credit card December 17th, 2014 (13 and a half months ago) and it was a $500 limit (Chase Freedom). I said it before and i'll say it again, look at the difference a year can make.

WOW!!

Sadly though, this is probably my last main post in approvals until July 2016 (Nothing left to CLI). That's when my Discover double cash back ends and I will be instantly approved for the CITI double cash world elite master card Smiley Happy positive thinking. A big thank you to everyone for posting and inspiring. MyFico forums is such a blessing.
