Main reason for posting was to indicate that usage appears to play into their CLI decisionmaking process.


How much usage (you said "the hell out of it" but with the caps that can still be fairly small).  Im at 17 months without a CLI.


Congrats to the OP!  I would also like to know what type of usage we are talking about here.  My 6th statement cut today and there was no CLI.  I don't need a CLI, but I was curious to see if I'd get one, since I've heard that they sometimes happen at the 6th or 7th statement cut.  I've spent approximately $1500 on this card over the course of the past 6 months.  I'd be curious to know what "heavy" usage looks like for this card in a 6 month period.

Just because there are no questions doesnt mean that the thread gets closed. If we cannot be supportive of the OP its best to move on to another thread.

What's the supportive part in "congrats" or "sweet"?


This forum has a multitude of people that stretch from the accomplished to being currently in BK. When a member posts that something has been achieved we should acknowledge that with a proper response and if we cannot do that then its time to move on to another thread as I have already stated. We are not here to judge a members post and if we cant be friendly, supportive and respectful in a response then again its time to move on.

I was not holding my breath - I've had the Ring for several years with -0- CLI. I also only use that card to park stuff at the lower 8% APR so not much use. 

6th statement cut ... and it went from 5k to 8k. My FICO (according to Barclay) hasn't really moved in that 6 month timeframe, but I have been using the hell out of it - all grocery, Amazon, and some gas. 

 

I think that the more you use it the more they will open it up for you - at least based on my experience. 


Congratulations! I'll be looking forward to my 6th statement. What kind of util did you keep?

TY for this info... interesting.. leaving a balance versus having a card as a daily.
