If you're not willing or able to comply, then it seems Amex is okay with you taking your business elsewhere...
BTW I don't think a $10,000 increase is measly, considering your current credit line is $15,000.. you're asking for a 67% increase in credit.

The Gold AX business card I have has a $25K credit line. The personal SPG AX card I just canceled had a $20K credit line. Each of the AA Citi cards I have has a $25K credit line. The $15K credit line on the current SPG business card was given to me when I opened the account 2 months ago. It's the lowest credit line I've ever initially been granted with a new card. I would have only asked for a $5K increase if they had told me upfront that anything over $25K requires the tax returns to be sent in.
