It doesn't matter but after the approval he should call and request a CLI. Did you call after your approval?
+1 If after approval its not enough have him call the backdoor number GE/credit solutions for an increase

No, I waited a couple months then called ($500 to $1k). Then again a few months later ($1k to $5k)
I'll tell him to apply online right now then.
Tell your brother good luck

Anotehr useful tactic is also to call from the store when he is trying to make a major purchase with his card. They will often approve the CLI in order to facilitate the sale.

I gave my bro the Lowe's recon number and after 15 mins and 2 reps he was still stuck with $1000 cl. I then suggested that he apply for the Home Depot card to see what they could do for him. He came to my house and applied online and was approved for $750. After seeing how disappointed he was I told him to call the back door number same as before and see if they would cli. He called and spoke with a very nice rep whom after 3 or 4 mins approved an increase to $3500. He was more than happy.
Today, because of what I've learned from these forums and its amazing contributors, I was able to help my brother get a credit card that will help him tremendously to fix/update his first home.
Thank you everybody for your help
Congrats to your brother
And a big BRAVO to you for passing the knowledge forward
