Good week for increases!

So last Thursday I got an auto-CLI on my Sam's Club card; went from 1500 to 3500. I tried to increase it further calling credit solutions but they weren't havin it. No complaints though.

 

Then, this evening, I called em again to request an increase on my Walmart card from 1000 to 2000. Approved!

 

Then logged in to look at it and figured, what the heck, why not hit the luv button and see what can happen. Bumped it up from 2000 to 2500! That was less than an hour after the increase via phone was approved.

 

And now, I just got done with the big nervewrecker - the coveted Amex CLI. Requested online increase 3x from 2000 to 6000. Approved! I'm so stoked! That's 7500 in CLIs in a week! For a guy like me that's huge! I'm so glad I found this forum!

I got some cards with some credit limits. Some are better than others.

Congrats nice going

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
