Best Buy 4x CLI

Hi Everyone,

 

Just got off the phone with Best Buy/Citi account specialist and she raised my limit from $2170 to $9000.  This did require a hard pull but I think it was worth it.  This would have NEVER happened while it was under Cap One.  Just letting those who might be in the same boat as me know that there is hope!

 

I was also approved for Citi Thank You Preferred for $6500 and Barclaycard Arrival for $5000 less than a day ago.  I think I am done with my mini app spree.

 

I was a bit worried because my utilization is around 12% but it looks like that wasn't an issue.

 

Thanks,

 

Teknut

I am so glad I did not have the Best Buy card under Capone! 

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

Congrats nice bump

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Best Buy 4x CLI

OP I'm glad you posted about your CLI success, it made me want to try too. I called and asked for a $4k increase and they said that they would be able to give me a $6k CLI, it was a hard pull too but I think the increase was worth it. Smiley Happy
