I was just approved 3 days ago for the Amazon Prime Store Card with a SL of $800 but I am curious abou this backdoor number you called for the increase. I'd like to give it a try. Can you share the number or the thread link?

I was also approved at HH Gregg for $1200 and Cap One Platinum for $500. I may give the same trick a try with HH Gregg. I have been debating trying for a Wal-Mart card too but I haven't done it yet. Perhaps with this thread I may do it and then try for the increase immediately if I am approved.

EDIT: I found the number and called. I was denied any increase at all on Amazon and did not attempt for HH Gregg. I applied for Wal-Mart immediately after and was approved for $800.

Try an increase on Walmart also.  If no on that also, give it a try again after 1 statement on all of them... Synch can be a very odd bank and give increases on 1 card but not the other, or give increases on 3 cards but not a 4th... and sometimes it's only a  month, sometimes it's 6 months! so ask every month until you get one and then wait like 3-4 and ask again for more!

Did you try for a CLI with HH Gregg? Sorry, I just saw that you responded to the post or I would have answered yesterday.

@CreditAddict:

No, I did not try for an increase on the Wal-Mart. I called about the Amazon increase before I finished my application for Wal-Mart.

@HSXAGENT:

No, I did not try for the increase with HH Gregg.

I should also mention something very interesting that happened. After the denial on the Amazon CLI and the acceptance of the Wal-Mart card, I was shopping on Amazon for something I needed. My total was $79 and during checkout it said that if I apply for the Amazon Visa card and get approved that I would get a $70 Amazon gift card. I figured what the heck and gave it a whirl. To my surprise, I was approved for that card with a $4,000 credit limit! That completely blew me away and my purchase ended up being $9. This brings my total to 5 cards in the last 5 days which I am extremely satisfied with. I am very happy with the cards chosen, too, as they are all stores I shop at or they have benefits I will use. My total available credit went from $0 to $7,300 in 5 days. I am beyond surprised and excited with my progress and outcome(s). Now to get the only 2 negative marks removed from my report, if possible.

Right! I was just so blown away that I was not only approved but that my limit was so high! I am going to work on paying these cards off in the next month or 2 (all my purchases have 0% interest for 6 months) and then just use them minimally to keep them active and hope I am able to increase the limits.

Yea dude! I have absolutely no idea how I got approved at all, let alone for that amount!

I will give the other 2 store cards a try for the credit increase. Does it matter that the Wal-Mart card was just opened yesterday and the HH Gregg card was opened 5 days ago and has a $500 balance currently? The only reason I didn't bother trying was because all 3 cards are through Synchrony and they denied the Amazon store card. When I called in to try they asked me how much I wanted. I followed what I read in another thread and asked for $10,000 even though the current limit is $800. Many people said that they came back with a counter offer, sometimes around $4,000, so I just followed the trend.

I will give them a call within the next hour or 2 and try for the other cards.

Thanks!
