lol...I got my card in Nov, and have been denied for a cli 3 times. Once after each time I paid it off. I am just going to wait until my fourth statement cuts now. I also hit the luv button like 5 times, but it says that I my account is not eligible for an online limit increase. I figure it's a sp, so f-it. What's the worst that can happen?


Are you absolutely sure, that it was a _denial_ of CLI?

The thing is that most of GE accounts have a luv button, but it rarely works as it should - in most cases you get something like "CLI requests can not be made online at this time ...blah-blah-blah", but that is NOT a denial, it's just a system glitch. 

I would say that the best way forward is just to call a number on the back of your card. I have 4 GE cards for more than a year and I think online CLI worked only once on GAP card. When you call this number it will most likely be an automated system. It will ask you to say something like "credit increase", then ask you what is your desired limit, what is your income and then either approve this increase (but still asking you to confirm that you're accepting it) or counter you with smaller increase. 

 

I had to speak to a live person only once and I've never received straight decline - they were always counter-offering with small, but still increases...

In my wallet now: Amex PRG NPSL, Amex BCE $15k $17k (thanks to recent CLI), Chase Freedom 11k, CSP $6k, Chase United ME $5k, Citi Dividend $5.6k, Discover It $4.5k and a handful of other cards...
TU Dec 2013 - 752Sep 2013 - 764 - new all time maximum

Obsolete data aboveCurrent TU - probably around ~810, only using a few Chase & BofA cards now, not applying for much until we buy a house

Are walmart discover decisions instantaneous online or does one have to wait for a week or so?

I was instantly approved online for a Walmart Discover card, but as always YMMV.

Re: Walmart Discover question-- Update

 

Ok, I went ahead and applied for it and was instantly approved for a credit limit of $1800

 

It is my lowest Credit Limit on a card, but I am glad it was approved.

 

Thanks all of you for the suggestions and help!

Awesome! GE is great. I should be more agressive with my CLI requests with them.

Thanks london.  Yes, they seem to be very generous, provided you have no baddies on credit report!
