Yesterday I called and requested a 3x increase on my Costco True Earnings AMEX. It was approved and I am quite overjoyed.![]()
Reasons being;
I have a 32% utilization across the board. I do not pay this card in full and I've only had it since the end of Aug. My card balance was over half the limit when I requested the increase. My fico scores have dropped almost 70 points since I started using my cards for new home repairs. All of these factors were racing through my mind. I decided to give it a try anyway. Man! Am I glad I did.
Awesome outcome. Never could of got here without* all the triumphs and trials of the participants on this board![]()
