o.k., for some reason Amex does not feel that the history allows for a higher limit. My Amex card has a $30k limit - they raised it through the years, never asked for it. Applied for it 21 years ago.
Not speculating on the reason here - could be many things. Going for a $10k charge on a $10k limit is just not advisable.
