CHASE- when to ask for a CLI?

I have:

1)Chase Platinum Visa- 3,000 CL - 6 months old w/ 9.9% (No interest for 1 year)

2)Chase Amazon Master Card- 1,000 CL - 5 months old w/ 19.24%

 

When should I ask for a CLI? Or should I just keep under the radar?

It all depends upon your other available credit. You have clean reports I imagine? Doubtful they will increase your promo rate card. I would wait until you had the cards for a year before asking for more credit in this climate.

I requested a CLI at 6 mo. (March 2009), and was approved for a 100% increase . . . from 2500 - 5000.  But be sure your 6th statement has dropped before asking.  It will be a hard pull.  Chase also REDUCED my APR from 14.99% to 13.24%.

Starting Score: TU 737 EQ 721
Current Score: TU 741 EQ 741
Goal Score: TU 765 EQ 760
