I am a member of Amazon Prime so I thought I should get their Prime card. I got it Dec. 2015 with a $1000 limit.
I keeped the balance down and in April they gave me a small $300 increase.
In May I decided to push it and called Credit Soulutions at 877-379-8173. I asked for $10,000. They countered with $6000. Happy camper here.
They have been advertising the heck out of their Prime Day, July 12th, so I thought I would call CS today.
I asked for $15,000 and they countered with $10,000.
It took several minutes to get this approval because I imagine they have been getting quite a few calls the last several days.
I don't expect to go wild tomorrow. I have gone through my wish lists and have made a note of items I need or really want. I am just glad I have a high enough limit that I can make purchases and not worry about going over a 10% level.
Just thought I would share.

Congratulations On Your Approval....Thanks For Sharing..
Thanks Super_AL. I know some people are reluctant to call but it is easier than they think.

Congrats. I asked for 10,000 thru chat today and was denied. I didn't want to bother calling.
Sorry to hear that. Your scores look good. When did you get your last CLI?

My last cli was June 5th
It would be interesting to see their reason for denial. Did they say they would send you a letter?
I was inspired by your post, called credit solutions, asked for $2k (am at $1k), and was approved.
Now I wish I had asked for more, and I'm worried it wasn't a soft pull. He didn't say he was pulling a credit report, he just said he was putting me on hold to reivew my credit report. I hope this didn't boot me out of the garden.
If it did, it's not a disaster (but it would have been smarter if I'd asked for 4 or 5k!).
Congrats @grafton88! Nice increase. Do you mind sharing your score , inquiries etc. $6000 seems to be standard limit for certain profiles so i was wondering if you are over 700 on your TU and what if anything changed in your profile since your last increase 2 months ago. This would be a great data point. Kind thanks!
