I have been using my American Express credit card for 12 months with a clean repayment history. How can I request a credit limit increase, and what factors does the bank consider?

On credit limit increase: most banks auto-review every 6 months. If you use 30-70% of the limit and pay in full, you'll get an automatic increase. Don't call and ask for it explicitly — banks take it as a sign of credit hunger and sometimes lower the limit instead.
