Received an email from Barclay's today saying that they increased the limit on my Sallie Mae card to $3400 (it was $2100). I do use the card a lot for gas, groceries and Amazon, have never spent a penny on any non-5% category and have never carried a balance. The card is awesome for me because it covers 3 out of my 5 biggest spend categories (dining and travel being the others).
This card is special to me because it was my re-entry to the world of mainstream credit (and also prompted my first post to myFICO). I did receive a Capital One QS1 a few months prior, but had otherwise been shut out of new credit cards since the financial crisis. I was initially declined for this card, but using knowledge gained here on myFICO I called in to recon and they approved me for a $1k starting limit about 18 months ago in January. I asked for and received a CLI after 6 months for $200 if I recall, and at 12 months I received a CLI to $2.1k total. I was just thinking I should ask for another CLI next month as I get to 18 months total, but they beat me to the punch.
I'm really happy with Barclay's and they've been very good to me. I hope the Sallie Mae keeps earning 5% for years to come!
congrats!! I love Sallie Mae too, it's an amazing cash-back card and will definitely be missed if they ever kill it off for those of us lucky enough to have one
Congrats! Sallie Mae is my most used card. It's also my lowest limit card. Barclay's doesn't like me.
Congrats!
That was a much prized 5% card which i just didn't get a chance to land and then it was gone.
Congrats!
Congratulations on a very nice auto CLI!
