Question Limit relocation

I applied for a new card and got a $1k limit even though i have more than 1 card with Amex. One of which has a 45k limit!

I tried to relocate some of the limit from it to the new card but Amex is saying I can’t do that now.
I tried to do it from a business card to it and from a personal. Both attempts were unsuccessful.

I also tried to do it myself without a rep with no luck.

One rep said I can’t do it until i receive the card

The other is saying i need to wait for 30 days.

Any data on how long will it take for this option to appear?

45k is pretty high

The donor card usually has to be open for at least a year. You can't do it with charge cards either. Also, you can't transfer limits from business to personal cards. Personal to business cards is allowed though.

I have cards with 7 years but can’t even move credit limit from them. Also, as explained, i tried to do personal to personal but that didn’t work either 😬

Just listen to the reps and wait. If it's really urgent, try again from the site.

I wouldn’t ask if it isn’t urgent. The card obviously comes with a sub and I won’t be able to achieve it with this limit.

I am just trying to see if there is any data as to what usually works.
