Move Amex Credit Limit Online
Cardholders are presented a variety of bank policies for shifting their existing credit limits. Shifting Chase and Barclays limits has been easy, in my experience; Citi, not so much. If you want to move Amex credit limit, though, it’s easier than you may think. Even better, you can do it online instead of calling. Today, I’m showing you how to move Amex credit limit online in just a few steps. But first, let’s review a few items to keep in mind prior to moving Amex credit limit online.

- If you want to transfer credit limit between two cards, they must be attached to the same Amex online profile.

I recently was trying to shift credit around on a few of my amex cards and was having to adhere to a “1 reallocation allowed every 30 days” rule one of the phone CSR’s told me about. I’m not sure if they apply the same limit to this online method, but it may be worth keeping that in mind.
Interesting – I hope someone can chime in and see if this gets around that or if it was a made up rule by a rep.
Just chatted w/ an Amex rep who said that: (a) there is no limit to the total number of credit line reallocations that can be performed and (b) 1 reallocation can be done every 30 days.
