There is no way to know how high American Express credit limits are. You won’t know your American Express credit limit until you’re approved for an account. American Express does not disclose a minimum credit limit in their cards’ terms and conditions, unlike some other major issuers. All Amex says is that your credit limit depends on your credit history, debt level, income, and payment history on other American Express cards.
One way to estimate what credit limit you might get on an American Express card is to read customer reviews of the card. People will often post what limit they received, sometimes with their credit score and income. On Amex cards for good credit, people seem to report starting with limits of $1,000-$5,000 most often. But you should take any of these numbers with a grain of salt. Just because someone with a similar credit score or income got a certain limit, it doesn’t mean you will, too.

Another important thing to know is that several Amex cards have what is called ''no preset spending limit.'' This is the case for Amex's charge cards (where you must pay the balance in full each month) like Amex Platinum and Amex Gold. If your card has no preset spending limit, the amount you can charge on your card will fluctuate from billing cycle to billing cycle. It will depend on your past spending habits, your credit, your income and more.
