Hi Dayana. I have a Sofi invest account and checking account as well. What FICO score does SOFI look for/require? The high credit line offered intrigues me... Did I miss any video on the Sofi credit card that addresses required FICO score?
Are you able to respond to my question above? If you do not know the answer, it's fine as well. Just like to go in to applying for a new card with as much data as possible...
@@HOODTOURS Hey, an approval depends on various factors not just your credit score. Income,expenses, credit utilization, etc play a big role as well in getting approved. I believe you need good-excellent credit so (670+) to get this card but I’ve seen people get approved with a credit score as low as 630. For more info check out this article: support.sofi.com/hc/en-us/articles/4411345274253-Why-was-my-SoFi-Credit-Card-application-declined- Hope this helps! 😊
I got my Blue Cash Preferred in July and let my 4th statement hit a few days ago. Paid the balance then asked for just over 3x my current limit. I was 6k and now I'm 18k after asking for 19k. 🤘 Feels great! Like Mike Jones said... "Back then they didn't want me! Now my credit good they all on me" Thank you!
Hello everyone. I tried through the online chat and received a message that your account is not eligible for an increase. I pay my bill in full and never have been late on any card. I have the account for 2 years. I called and I was approved for a 3x increase over the phone. The representative said some accounts have to call for their increase
When I tried the first time at 61 days, they said it was too early and to wait until 90 days. At 90 days I increases my BBP from $8k - $24k, then I moved 6k from my Hilton Honors card to the BBP to make it $30k... I have well over $41k with Amex and have never had a financial review or been denied for a card except for once and that was because I'm at my Max limit of 5 credit cards with them
@@GangstaNerd what card do you have? I have 10 Amex... 5 credit cards and 5 charge cards. But when I got that increase I think that I only had about 4 cards with them. When I say that I have over 41k with them, I meant in credit but I do have money in Amex Business Checking and Personal Savings accounts. With your score, they should have gladly give you an increase after 90 days. Have you messaged them? If not, I would do that and see why you're not getting the increase.
I have Delta Gold and AMeX Platinum Charge ( no issue there) but the Gold has been stuck I pay it off every month could that be the issue, I’m going to call them now
@@GangstaNerd Paying it off monthly isn't the issue because I don't leave a balance on any of my cards. Yeah, I would definitely contact them! I have the Delta Gold too but I haven't asked for a credit line increase in it because I plan to cancel it next year and get the Delta Platinum so that I get the annual companion certificate
Credit limit increased again from when this video came out I went from 2k- 6k and just did it like a day ago requested and went from 6k-18k so they 3x my limit 🙏
Thanks for the helpful video! I've had the BCP for 10 months now without any automatic increases, so I thought it was due time to ask for one. Had no idea what a good amount would be to request. But after watching your video, I felt confident requesting from 6000 to 10,000. And I was approved! Now I wish I had asked for the full 3x haha 😆
Wow didn’t think it was that easy but you are right on! I appreciate your help and this video! I paused the video to follow along and I did everything you said and In just a minute I requested from 4k to a 12k$ limit and it got approved immediately I was excited thank you so much I appreciate your help 🙏🏾
@@sedlawston it went down a few points after inquiry but after my limit increased it went back up and some because it brought my limits up more and my utilization % down so it was a win win
I have this card. I applied this year in January. I was approved for only 1k. I went to get a cli after 6 months and was immediately denied due to the fact that I have a discharged bankruptcy on my credit report that is 6 years old. I also hold a platinum and a gold. They have no problem approving you for the card but be aware that if there is a bk reporting on your credit report don't bother applying for a cli.
I applied for Amex personal and business credit cards within a week apart about two month ago, and received $15,000 for personal and $20,000 for business. I wanted a bit more for business but I guess this video explains why I got a total of $25,000.
There should be a 'qualifying' mention that all these 61 day 3x1 increases are for EXISTING amex members. Not new members. I just opened a BCE a couple months ago, day 62 came, and the system told me I couldn't ask yet. I called and spoke to them, they said new members need to wait 6 months. FYI...
This was an excellent breakdown on how to get a credit limit increase with Amex Dayana! I personally only have their charge cards right now, but I know this video is gonna be super helpful for a ton of people out there. It makes me wish I had some of their normal cards! Thanks for sharing!!
Great Vid on Utilization....you got me thinking, I decided for every increase, I would lower my usage, for example, for a $20,000 Credit Limit, I would keep my Utilization at 1% that's "$200"....because it's Low Risk, and as you said, 30% is too much.
In July I asked for an increase and went from 15k to 30k instantly. Last week I asked for an increase from 30k to 45k. They have me an immediate increase of 5k then asked for bank statements. Sent them the bank statements and waiting to hear back, so we’ll see.
Applied for the Amex BCP, and got the 25k limit from the gate! Note: I already have a Amex Gold and Bussiness Blue plus for almost 2 years before I applied.
As of November 19, 2022, there is no 60 days rule. I called Amex and it’s now a minimum of 90 days and all the way up to 180 days, depending on the specific person.
just worked for 3x ... way better than waiting for Amex to just increase the limit randomly... also yea sucks that they just removed the built in tab to request an increase. Thanks
so for me this worked for me not exactly @61st day but rather a couple weeks after the 61st date. So basically the 90th day this works. I went from 8k to 24k thank you for this video ❤
Data point: coming from $2k, I just tried to get my first CLI with AmEx (BCE) but wasn’t even allowed to ask for a number due to the card being too new. Having opened the card 10/27, I’m past the usual 61 day wait.
The Credit Limit increase button has been moved to Account Service > Payment and Credit Options > its in Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) Benefits and you will see the credit limit increase
I have this card and I’m at 120 days with heavy spend , clearly love the card, so I appreciate your perspective and data points! Will help me decide the amount of my CL increase
Amex hates me and won’t tell me why. I even have an Amex saving account. 6 months now. I’ll wait a year and close the account if I don’t get an increase
@@DayanaPlays The Blue Preferred. I’ve used the card every month in varying amounts and paid it off before the due date. It’s my lowest credit limit “4K” and they claim they need more “history” of use as the reason. It’s pathetic.
@@Jason_The_Man i have the same issue but with the custom cash, been with them for 10 months and they still say my account hasn’t been open for too long to be considered for an increase. Dumb as fuck
@@DayanaPlays I thought of requesting a credit limit increase, and I could if I want. But realistically I don’t need a CL increase since I already have a $22,200 total credit limit, $34,200 including business cards.
Good information it give a better understanding why my utilization drop a few points. I recently got an increase on of my credit card that I did not request but it make sense now. Honestly I'm not worry to much about increase. I figured as long as I paid my credit card off on time and build a good report with company so when the time comes it may be possible for an easy request ijs.
I just got approved for this and the green card. I don’t want the charge card and I’m hesitant on this card till I find out my CL. My other cards are around 15k and 10k.
I’m was denied because I was recently 20 days late on my AMEX gold card. Anyone know how much longer I need to wait to ask again for a CLI on my preferred.
Does the overall extended credit (34,000) INCLUDE cards where you are added to somebody else’s account as an authorized user? OR, just cards we are personally responsible for making payment’s on? Any info on this would be great thanks. 😊
I have the blue cash and a blue business card. Blue cash is 7k limit and business is 10k. I’d like to up the blue cash. My question is do they do a hard pull? Or soft pull? Accounts about a year old.
I can tell you Amex CLI are always soft pulls. If you have an existing credit card with Amex and apply for an additional card, the subsequent application for a second card is also usually a soft pull as well.
Yea, when preparing for the video I couldn't find it on the portal, so I contacted customer service, who confirmed it had been removed. BTW thanks for dropping by! 😊
Ive had Amex Blue cash card for almost 6 years and they still denying me more than 4k limit. I used it once every 6 months and immediately paid entire balance off. Maybe i dont use it enough?
Great video!! I have two AMEX cards and I also noticed that they are very generous with credit limits. I also noticed Fidelity is even more generous! But you need to have a Fidelity account. I also GUESS that Charles Swabb may be very generous because as well as Fidelity they deal with borrowers who have securities and they tend to be more financially stable. If you know of any other Credit Card issuer that is Generous on Credit Limit, please let me know. I think even if I don't use it, having a high credit limit impress employers or anybody that pulls your credit.
Hi Dayana. Great video! My question is this. I have had the BCP Amex card for 13 months. Low initial limit of $3k. I spend between $1k to $2k a month on the card and pay my balance in full each month. All payments in last 13 months have been on time. No lates. So, the only way to get the CLI is to request it? I was waiting for Amex to increase my CL automatically after one year, but nothing! So, basically just request an increase to $9k via chat?
Hey, If you haven't received a cl increase after a year, I would try the 3x method since asking for an increase with amex has no effect on your credit score. How many amex credit cards do you currently have?
@@DayanaPlays I got the BCP Amex in 08/2021 (3k limit), the Amex Gold card in 02/2022 and the Hilton Honors Amex in 07/2022 (also a $3k limit), so a total of 3 Amex cards. No automatic CLI from Amex to date. Annual income is $115k and I pay my Amex balances in full every month with no lates. So, you would suggest requesting the 3x increase on my first card BCP right away or will the multiple Amex cards complicate my getting CLI on the BCP card? Thank you!
@@HOODTOURS absolutely she is right. While watching this video I did exactly what she said I went from 4k$ limit to 12k$ limit just by requesting like she said plus it only takes a minute it’s super user friendly and easy
@@TheMercadoChannel Thank you for the confirmation! I too submitted the online CLI on the Amex website and was approved for $9k credit line (original line $3k). This was my 1st Amex card. I will wait til I am at 6 months on my second Amex credit card and try to get CLI on that card as well... at that point I'll have $21k in credit lines across two Amex credit cards plus my Amex Gold card. That would be great and again appreciate your feedback and confirmation!
I got my Amex delta gold card with a 8k limit back in July of last year Is that any good? Especially since my history is new i thought it was really strange
Excelente explicacion sobre como aumentar el limite de la TDC amex.. fui 12.5k a 20k de aprobacion inmediata. felicidades me suscribi a tu canal, un gran abrazo
@@MrDigztheswagking I've had the card for just over 6 months. My initial credit line was $6k then they randomly increased it to $9k last month. So then yesterday I requested $24k and made the jump there from $9k. Hope that helps
I was approved for a $25,000 credit limit. Will they approve a cli after 60 days if I continue to pay my balance in full before the statement closing date?
How often does Amex offer a cli without one requesting it ? Also, I have the Amex blue cash preferred card with a $25,000 limit, do you think they'd approve an increase of $15,000 giving me a $40,000 credit limit?
Great video.. I just got my Amex card in June which is my only card with them. My limit was 10k plus when I was approved. Just received my SUB recently. So I should ask for a CLI in December less than 25k?
@@DayanaPlays Love your content an super helpful. My question is does the request of a CLI comes with a hard pull? Would like to get an increase on my Blue Cash Everyday Card.
Hi, I'm hearing mixed reviews on when to go for the trip le the limit increase. Some people say 61 days. Some people say 90 days. Have things changed or?
I Was denied on the 61st day I reapplied after a few weeks my original limit was 8k went to 15k. I use my card a lot and pay it back on time. Can I apply again for an increase if yes then when?
I only got approved for $1,000 credit limit on both of my amex card and waited 61 days and asked for the cli and got declined, the funny thing is I got approved for the amex Shwab card and got a $5,000 limit so I don't no what happened here its wierd
Thank you for your video! I haven’t applied just yet my credit right now is at 666 😂 weird number, waiting for next year to hit at least 700 my concern I guess will be how to play with the income part so I can get approved for $25K so I can start my business!!! Do I have to go higher on the income to get approved for a higher amount!!
When you open a AMEX charge card what do they report to the bureaus for a “credit limit”? Or is it like a business credit card where it doesn’t report on your personal card?
It’s get reported to the bureaus and if you carry a balance it reflects it. Because it doesn’t have a preset limit it either shows 0 balance or whatever your carry over balance is.
Hey, no limit is reported since charge cards have no preset spending limit. However, your cards balance will be reported to the bureaus, so make sure to pay it in full on a monthly basis as the card should be paid. Hope that makes sense! 🤗
They are both correct. The balance on the charge card is reported to the credit bureaus, however since you have NO credit limit, credit utilization is not reported...

Yea, when preparing for the video I couldn't find it on the portal, so I contacted customer service, who confirmed it had been removed. BTW thanks for dropping by! 😊
💯🎯
Great video, I am wondering, will this type of request for a CLI incur a hard or soft pull on your credit?
Thank you! 😊 CLI requests will only result in a soft pull unless otherwise stated by amex.
So when eligible on two cards, I cant request a credit line increase on both of them at the same time?
Always appreciate the content 💳🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much, Jef! 😊
Thanks Dayana. The advice you gave helped me go from 15k to 24k after asking for the limit increase.
That's a BIG jump congrats my friend! 🙌🏽💜
WOW! Thank you!
Now how can I increase my credit limit on both my American express cards at the same time?
Ive had Amex Blue cash card for almost 6 years and they still denying me more than 4k limit. I used it once every 6 months and immediately paid entire balance off. Maybe i dont use it enough?
Great video!! I have two AMEX cards and I also noticed that they are very generous with credit limits. I also noticed Fidelity is even more generous! But you need to have a Fidelity account. I also GUESS that Charles Swabb may be very generous because as well as Fidelity they deal with borrowers who have securities and they tend to be more financially stable. If you know of any other Credit Card issuer that is Generous on Credit Limit, please let me know. I think even if I don't use it, having a high credit limit impress employers or anybody that pulls your credit.
There's great information in here Dayana
Thank you so much, bud. Keep up the great work on your channel. 😊
Max $34500 for all the Amex cards , will that also include the Amex business card or just the Amex personal cards ?
Hi Dayana. Great video! My question is this. I have had the BCP Amex card for 13 months. Low initial limit of $3k. I spend between $1k to $2k a month on the card and pay my balance in full each month. All payments in last 13 months have been on time. No lates. So, the only way to get the CLI is to request it? I was waiting for Amex to increase my CL automatically after one year, but nothing! So, basically just request an increase to $9k via chat?
Hey, If you haven't received a cl increase after a year, I would try the 3x method since asking for an increase with amex has no effect on your credit score. How many amex credit cards do you currently have?
@@DayanaPlays I got the BCP Amex in 08/2021 (3k limit), the Amex Gold card in 02/2022 and the Hilton Honors Amex in 07/2022 (also a $3k limit), so a total of 3 Amex cards. No automatic CLI from Amex to date. Annual income is $115k and I pay my Amex balances in full every month with no lates. So, you would suggest requesting the 3x increase on my first card BCP right away or will the multiple Amex cards complicate my getting CLI on the BCP card? Thank you!
@@HOODTOURS absolutely she is right. While watching this video I did exactly what she said I went from 4k$ limit to 12k$ limit just by requesting like she said plus it only takes a minute it’s super user friendly and easy
@@TheMercadoChannel Thank you for the confirmation! I too submitted the online CLI on the Amex website and was approved for $9k credit line (original line $3k). This was my 1st Amex card. I will wait til I am at 6 months on my second Amex credit card and try to get CLI on that card as well... at that point I'll have $21k in credit lines across two Amex credit cards plus my Amex Gold card. That would be great and again appreciate your feedback and confirmation!
@@TheMercadoChannel so after you 3x can you 3x it again later
I got my Amex delta gold card with a 8k limit back in July of last year Is that any good? Especially since my history is new i thought it was really strange
Excelente explicacion sobre como aumentar el limite de la TDC amex.. fui 12.5k a 20k de aprobacion inmediata. felicidades me suscribi a tu canal, un gran abrazo
Congrats amigo! 💙
It worked! I went from a $9k credit limit to $24k on my "blue cash preferred"
Did you start with 9k or 3k and how did you wait for credit limit increase
@@MrDigztheswagking I've had the card for just over 6 months. My initial credit line was $6k then they randomly increased it to $9k last month. So then yesterday I requested $24k and made the jump there from $9k. Hope that helps
Ok thanks
That's amazing congrats!!! 🥳
Will they do a soft or hard pull or increase?
I love this breakdown =)
Thanks bud! 💙
What about a hard inquirie when you ask for a increase
Hey! Amex only does a soft pull for cl increases.
This was helpful. Thanks.
You're welcome! 😊
Does this all apply the same way for the business credit cards?
i got blue chash preferred and they gave me 25k to start, does that mean i cant request a credit limit without them giving me that form?
Thank you.
You're welcome! 💙
I was approved for a $25,000 credit limit. Will they approve a cli after 60 days if I continue to pay my balance in full before the statement closing date?
Hey is the amex bcp the only amex card you have?
How often does Amex offer a cli without one requesting it ? Also, I have the Amex blue cash preferred card with a $25,000 limit, do you think they'd approve an increase of $15,000 giving me a $40,000 credit limit?
Waiting for a reply, 🙏
@@elbori4365 Were you approved?
If i have 3 Amex cards and I 3x one of them a month ago when can i 3x another card?
So get partner with amazing credit and then request?
Should I pay my cards balance before the Closing Date?
Or
Should I pay the balance off before my due date? Which is better for Amex?
Before the closing date, that way a lower balance is reflected on your statement and that lower amount is reported to the credit bureaus.
Does this work for all Amex cards like the Blue Cash Everyday card or just the Blue Cash Preferred?
Currently available for all Amex personal cards.
Got the increase and it’s been 4 months now what? How to get more?
Great video.. I just got my Amex card in June which is my only card with them. My limit was 10k plus when I was approved. Just received my SUB recently. So I should ask for a CLI in December less than 25k?
Congrats on your Amex card! 🥳
If you'd like to increase your cl on the card then yea!
@@DayanaPlays Love your content an super helpful. My question is does the request of a CLI comes with a hard pull?
Would like to get an increase on my Blue Cash Everyday Card.
Hi, I'm hearing mixed reviews on when to go for the trip le the limit increase.
Some people say 61 days. Some people say 90 days.
Have things changed or?
I Was denied on the 61st day I reapplied after a few weeks my original limit was 8k went to 15k. I use my card a lot and pay it back on time. Can I apply again for an increase if yes then when?
Do you get a hard pull after raising the credit limit?? Thx!! Great video!
No
Nope. Thanks for dropping by! 😊
Good job
Thanks for watching! 😊
Great video
Thank you! 😊
I only got approved for $1,000 credit limit on both of my amex card and waited 61 days and asked for the cli and got declined, the funny thing is I got approved for the amex Shwab card and got a $5,000 limit so I don't no what happened here its wierd
You need 6 months before you can ask for a credit increase, after those 6 months aak for an increase. This only applies to new amex users.
Thank you for your video! I haven’t applied just yet my credit right now is at 666 😂 weird number, waiting for next year to hit at least 700 my concern I guess will be how to play with the income part so I can get approved for $25K so I can start my business!!! Do I have to go higher on the income to get approved for a higher amount!!
When you open a AMEX charge card what do they report to the bureaus for a “credit limit”?
Or is it like a business credit card where it doesn’t report on your personal card?
It’s get reported to the bureaus and if you carry a balance it reflects it. Because it doesn’t have a preset limit it either shows 0 balance or whatever your carry over balance is.
Hey, no limit is reported since charge cards have no preset spending limit. However, your cards balance will be reported to the bureaus, so make sure to pay it in full on a monthly basis as the card should be paid.
Hope that makes sense! 🤗
They are both correct. The balance on the charge card is reported to the credit bureaus, however since you have NO credit limit, credit utilization is not reported...
