Yes, I would say your temp line.... you should be able to log in shortly to paypal and see your new account added and at that point I think you can see full credit line.

Since its GE they pull from TU.

started with a $2k line, but when instantly approved, only $1,000 was initially available.
Maybe your limit is $500?

Either way, call Credit Solutions.

I got approved for 3k and I guess it is temp limit in your case where they will say you have only 250 to spend ...
It's a pretty good card and you can customize card design ... Free for first design ..
Good luck and keep us posted ...

But the CL is only $250. The person I spoke to said that I'd have to wait to receive and activate the card to ask for a different limit and that all cards start at $250. Is that right??? I have several $20k cards. What can I do to fix this?

Hello and welcome to myFICO community forums!

I recommend that you call the backdoor number listed on this card when you get the card, and ask for an increase. If they deny you, wait about 4 months and ask again. GE is pretty good about CLI requests.

Its possible that they granted such a low limit because they have no history on you.

I was approved for $2000 when I got mine. I don't think I had a temporary lower limit on mine prior to getting the card. Definitely call GE when you get the card.
