I've had the Walmart store card for almost a year and a half and it started with a credit limit of $500. I hit the luv button, roughly a couple of months ago and was only given $200 extra. I requested $5,000 and the $200 was the counter offer. My logic was to not leave any on the table when I asked for so much compared to my limit, so I took that $200 as a step in the right direction. However, a few days ago, I hit the luv button again and requested $3,000 and was instantly approved for it. Yep, I was feeling good about that! Not willing to leave well enough alone, I hit the luv button again today and requested $5,000 and was countered with a $500 increase. This brought me to a current credit limit of $3,500 after about 15 months having the card and starting out with only $500 in the beginning. I'll be holding on to this card for the long haul and taking it the highest credit limit that I can get it to.
Just FYI. I'm not sure if this is how it works, but I noticed that on my account page, there was a banner on the bottom of the main page that congratulated me on my "recent credit limit increase" after I got my first $200 increase. This congratulatory banner also advises and links to go shopping to spend some of that new money. I checked for this banner whenever I logged in, so when it was no longer there, I took that as Walmart no longer considering my CLI to be "recent" and requested the $3,000 and recieved it. After a few days, I still didn't see that banner again, so I asked for another CLI and got the counter offer of $500. It still hasn't popped back up on my account page, but I just got the most recent CLI today. Whenever it does show back up, I'm going to wait until they take it back down again and use that as my cue to ask for another CLI.
