Barclay CLI Rewards card. When?

[Anonymous]

When should I expect an auto CLI if I don't make a Request? I started with an initial limit of $2000 in July. Scores are a bit lower right now due to higher utilization. Just paid all cards in full. Should report all utilization changes by the 28th. I'm afraid to hit the LUV button because of my current slightly lower scores. Also afraid to call them due to new accts and the fear of AA. If they don't auto in January, I'll ask. What's the average 1st increase? Thanks everyone!:-)

I got mine May 2015 $500 and last week it was increased to $1250. Good luck.

I have the Apple Rewards and my 6th month statement cuts on the 16th, just logged on a few minutes ago and found my credit limit increased by $2000.

Just be patient, hold on until the 6th statement cuts and save that hard inquiry.

CLI's are not simply handed out in exchange for time with any creditor.  You can expect an auto CLI when your credit profile and income justify one with Barclaycard.

Calling will not have any impact.  If you're going to be AA'd you're going to be AA'd.  If you're not, you're not.  A call does not change your credit profile.

No idea as no one tracks sufficent data points for a meaningful analysis.  Even with an average it wouldn't matter.  The CLI you stand to qualify for has nothing to do with the average and everything to do with what your credit profile and income qualify for.
