Re: freedom cli at 6th months

I just received an auto CLI for $300 the other day, it was my 6th month with them, so it has happened, I have run quite a bit of money through it and keep a small balance of about $100 month to month, since I have )% apr right now doesn't hurt to float that amount.  Just keep an eye on your account and one may show up.

Raising your score 28 points by reducing your util 2% is not going to happen.  What is the highest limit you have on another card?   You stated you want to hit $5k and $3k......, so we need more info.

Re: freedom cli at 6th months

November was my 1 year mark and I haven't received any cli so far, not even at 6 months. Normally I would be mad but chase recently approved me for their csp at $8,000 so I'm content for now.

Re: freedom cli at 6th months

Over 15 cards with AA0A at 1year.  That would be tough for Chase in my opinion, but seeing you have some others with high limits you could very well get the increase you are looking for.  I say it is 50/50.
