CLI with Comenity bank store cards?

[stefnian0426]

Just curious on when they usually give you an CLI. I have tried the luv button (a few times   )

However since i have only had my cards with them since Jan and Feb 2014 they haven't given me a increase yet (which i understand)

I know usually its after at least 6 months but has anyone got a increase sooner? And how much have you recieved?

I have VS, Kingsize and Mandee cards. Incase the store makes a difference. Kingsize i dont use that much but the other two i do.

Thanks for any info!

I don't know about your cards but for me, I have my J Crew card back in end of February of 2014 and tried the love button yesterday - instant  increased to 1100$ from $800. Never used the card once....

with my Jcrew card, i request an increase every month, and get a $200 addition.  I used it alot at the beginning, but not much anymore. Sometimes, i even got it twice in a month.

Long time lurker of reading the boards. TatorTodd, I'm wondering if when hitting the love button whether or not you incur another inquiry? Or is it similar to a soft pull when requesting CLI with Comenity? Thank you in advance

Theyre sp. Comenity seems to have their own calender for each card. J Crew and Total Rewards are frequent, Express and My Points are infrequent to name a few.

The guideline for many of the store cards is 9 months for initial CLI and then every 4 months after.  My VS and Gold Violin are at the 8 month mark now, and I'm getting impatient!  The LUV button hasn't worked yet. 

Some store cards are an exception.  J Crew seems to offer instant CLIs.

I have 4 cards with Commenity. My VS did not give me a cli until my 9th statement. I hit the luv button when my 9th statement cut and they gave me a cli of 300. I signed in today to make a payment ( a week later ) and they had given me another cli of 200. On my HSN card, I was given a cli on my 6th statement and on Brylane was given one on the 9th statement. I have a Pier1 and I hit the luv button when I received the card and got a nice bump before I even used it.

For example this morning i was just loafing on my 2 month old JCrew account and out of curiosity pressed the luv button and it immediately answered back in the affirmative for a $200 CLI. I'll take it, brought that card to an even 1000. On the other hand after that bit of good news i repeated the same action for VS, KS, JL, and BH, all of which were approved at least 3-4 months sooner and with useage then PIF. Those results returned a different story, 7-10 day message which i assume means those cards haven't reached their designated calender eligibility yet,

Its definitely a soft pull.  I hit the luv button every week, sometimes more, just to see.  They just send me letters saying my CL was recently increased, and cannot be increased again, so soon.  Sometimes I get a letter from them almost every day of the week onetime i got 8 letters from them at once, haha
