Hi,
I recently applied for a credit limit increase for my Bofa Cash Rewards card and I was approved online double my previous limit. Now I'm kinda wishing I requested a little more :-). Now my question is, has anyone successfully been approved for a credit limit increase online and called in to request a higher limit and received it? Without another HP? I really don't need a bigger limit than what I got, but just curious.
Thanks!
Yes, there are many reports that people use the same HP up to 30 days after the initial CLI to request more by phone.
Also, the recommendation with BoA is to ask for much more than what you want just to make sure they counter with the amount they can approve.
Good luck and report back.

Thanks for the info. I originally thought of requesting a high limit, but was unsure if i would get a flat out denial vs approval for a smaller increase. If bofa does counter offer will keep that in mind next time. I also plan on requesting an APR reduction will give them a call on Monday and post back. Thanks again!

Yes. I had great success with BofA. I had 2 cards...one at $300 carry 0 balance and 1 at 6000...I want to say I was carrying 1 or 2k.
I hit the luv button on the 300 and it took me to $2300. I called in and got her to match my other limit of $6,000. I got off the phone and hit the luv button on the $6k asking for $15k...I got the 7-10 day and called in. He immediately approved the 15K.
The other day I decided I would prefer the whole limit on 1 card. I called in and with a SP they moved 5800 over. So now I have a $20,800 card and a $200 I am keeping for Aaoa. I will probably hit the luv in 6 months or maybe use it occasionally hoping for an automatic.
Was this 2 or 1 HO for increases on both accounts. I asked because I was approved for 2 accounts on 3/20/15 and was wondering how to request
my CLi when the time comes.
I called crefit analyst and they used my same TU HP from CLI request to raise my limit twice.
Same HP for 30 days.
Good luck.

Good plan.
I wonder if asking for CLIs on two different cards will be 2 HPs....I don't have experience with that.
ETA: My "2 for 1" was two CLIs on same card within 30 days of each other with same HP from original request.
Ohhhhhh........ Got. Cha, I misunderst... But ima still try. And if a no go I will have them stay on the phone while I hit the Luv button on
card #2.
Like i I had the analsyst stay on the phone with me to fill out my app for the 2nd card after I asked him if I can do a "2 for 1" app. Lol Jew didn't mind waiting. Lol
