Re: American Eagle Store card ?

My limit started pretty low two years ago ($200 or so)....would get regular increases through the button every four months, then got an auto-bump to $1,500, then called credit solutions and got another $500 to $2,000.

 

Still waiting on the upgrade though.....

I just applied and got the AE store card tonight...SL $150.00 as well Smiley Sad  Better than a decline.  I did call the backdoor/credit analyst number and no dice on an increase.  I thought...hmmm I have a Walmart card with a $3500.00 limit, but I can't get AE up to $500.00? I know I should have "shot the moon", but I figured $500.00 was plenty to spend there for back to school...pfft...lol

Well, getting an increase right after approval is pretty unlikely. It's not like your file changed in the 2 minutes between approval and your phone call. You have to show history.

 

$150 isn't gonna buy much at AE though, I guess, so I do sympathize.

Plus its not like AE is cheap lol. one pair of jeans is $50

Don't lose hope - my AEO limit on the store card was originally pretty low (I think $250 or $300), and I was very close to closing it entirely when I got uograded to VISA. You have to have the box pop up for the upgrade when you are logged in to the account, and it probably won't happen until you use it heavily and have the card for a year. Patience!

At least its synchrony. They gave me a $400 limit with my Amazon Store card and now its like $3,000
