Congrats on the CLI! No it wasn't worth the hp you should have waited 6 months in my opinion. The hp stays on your credit file 2 years.

If I had a lower income (ie 20000) would it be worth it now because I have $15000 in credit?

Grats on your CLI :

 

Income is not a factor in whether its worth it or not IMO, I have 2x credit to income an HP for a $500 cli on a 10 day old card is a bad tradeoff, if you think its worth it then it is doesnt matter what any of us say.

I started at and am at 1000 on BofA.
No way would i even consider until 6 months tops. But Congrats on the CLI.
If you have HP's to burn then new accounts might be a better decision. Just saying....

Re: BoA cli...

I tried apping for new cards, but it always gives me the "credit available is too high in relation to income" or something like that... so I'm thinking I'm capped at a certain limit credit line wise
