Was $3k initial. Called in just now since my 4th statement cut. Now it's $5k!
I wonder if I should have asked for more, but I didn't know the "rules" of GE CLI's and how much to ask for so I played it safe. Not bad, considering I've only put less than $100 on the card since I app'd for it back in January of this year. Well worth the soft pull.
I tell ya, these things weren't happening for me this time last year.
How does GE's CLI's work? What are the request limits? 3X CLI? 6X? I guess I should have asked about these rules before playing the game .
I don't think there's a set amount, but it's every four months you can ask for a bump, like clockwork.
I see. I'll be too scared to ask for $15k, but I'll give it a go in 4 months. October just happens to be when I "work" my Chase Freedom and AMEX BCE cards for higher limits, so that's one less thing to remember.
OP, what was your typical utilization, and balance posting percentage per statement? I just got this card, and want it to be the doorway into the 20k zone.

Like, I stated, I barely used the card. I've had it since January, and I put under $100 on it. Probably why I'm just now getting my 4th statement, because there were a couple of months I didn't get one as I didn't use it. My last statement was $5. March was $78. January I put on $10.

CONGRATS!!!
I would take it slow on requesting high amounts. Go for 8K in 4 months.
Nice!
