Hi all, I've had this card ($2,000 limit) for a little over a year now with a good payment history and I'm thinking about asing for an increase in the limit. How is AMEX at granting credit increases on the Blue? Thanks.
The are pre-approved increases and there are "upon request" increases. The latter requires a credit check (hard inquiry) and employment information, including income. The former (if exists) only requires you to say "yes". To see if you're pre-approved, log on to your Amex online account, select 'view my bill', and then click the 'apply for a credit line increase'. If you get a form to fill, that means you're not pre-approved at this point, and can only go the other route. BTW, if your Blue APR is > 9.9%, you can try reducing it to that rate (will require one or more phone calls). Saar
If you're only pre-approved for a minor increase, don't take it: they enforce a 6-month-interval between increases. This cannot be overridden by a Supervisor or a Retention Agent. Saar
I got balance transfer checks from Amex last week.The offer said if I transfer balance from other card issuers they will increase my credit line ,dallor for dallar,up to $10,000.
To: Saar I have one card from Amex, I belong to Amex .com to manage my account. What do I click on to see if I am Pre-approved for another account. Thanks
Re: To: Saar Pre-approved for another ACCOUNT? You're not, unless & until they notify you in writing. Which Amex card do you currently have, and which card would you like to have? Saar
Re: To: Saar I have optima I would like Green. On the Amex website it says if applying for a account look to see if you are already approved? Where do I look??
Re: To: Saar They should approve you for a Personal ("Green"). Call Amex, ask to speak with an Account Manager at Amex Centurion Bank. They can help you. Saar.
AMEX WEBSITE Saar - hi guy Where in the world are you?? Check out the "Apply for a Card" section at Amex.com. I noticed in the last upgrade, it asks the question if you are an existing cardholder? If yes, please click to the Cards menu. It says it will tell you, by entering your acct gateway (logon) what cards you may already be approved for. FYI - No Centurion, Platinum, or Gold for the Dogman. BUT - I frickin LOVE the Personal Card - the Green Card if you will! CYA Dogman
Re: AMEX WEBSITE Dog a ? Wow that's quite interesting, I will keep that in mind for after I've had the card for awhile. BTW, how is their online payment process, do they post quickly?? Like your expertise on this one Dog Mom P.S. I will be picking your little Amex brain from now on LOL
Re: AMEX WEBSITE Dog a ? I GUESS I'M STUPID...I found the apply for a card, but the "existing cardholder"? can't find. Couldn't find "get to what cards you may already be approved for".
Re: AMEX WEBSITE Dog a ? I found a place to fill in a survey to tell you what cards you might find interesting, but nothing about cards you may be already approved for...
