Chase Freedom & Chase Amazon CLI's

[Shock_]

Freedom was 12/2013 and Amazon was today I believe. I went to pay my bill after the statement cut and was surprised to see it. Both auto LUV. The last one on my Amazon was well over a year ago. I've been trying to figure out how I got them to do it, but I have a theory:

1. Reporting a balance of say, 30 bucks, paying the minimum of 25, and letting them make a little interest on me.

2. Oddly enough, I opened a Chase checking and savings with Chase in the hopes of increases..my Freedom was increased the month after.

3. Via secure message, I told them my 700 Amazon limit was restricting, and that I couldnt even buy a laptop and had to put it on my AMEX card. They responded and asked for income etc etc. I told them no hard pulls, and they told me a hard pull has to be done. I left it at that and now I have a CLI!

Just thought I'd share for any body who may be in the same boat.

FWIW they were both doubled, Freedom 500 to 1000 and Amazon was originallly 400, to 700, to 1400.

Does anybody know if any of the things I listed might be the culprit? No complaints, but I'd like to know Chase's tendencies.

They are by far the hardest cookie to crack for me..

It looks like Chase did reviews for auto cli today, a lot of people had been posting getting a cli including myself

Congrats, and thnk you for posting this!!

I too have an Amazon Visa (almost 7 years old at this point) that was orig 1k and a few years ago reduced to 700. Never asked for an increase or gave it much thought, but I might give it a try now
