Cap One automatic CLI!

Hi Folks, 

 

Just wanted to share some news. I just hit my 6 th month mark with Cap One and woke up to an increase on my cl. I originally had a $500 cl and they increased it on their won without me requesting it to $750. Not much, but a start. I know they can be stingy with their increases, but I wanted to share the news.

 

Thanks

I would say this is the standard credit step(s) CLI they give after the 5th statement.

The credit steps program is great for newish credit card users! Positive rewards for good behavior always beats negative reenforcement. Way To go!

Re: Cap One automatic CLI!

That is not a credit limit increase, that is their credit step program.  It ends after one step. 

 

You may never get another increase from that.  I got a credit step from $300 to $500 and I have never gotten anything since then!  I have gotten much higher limits from other banks and limit increases too from the others!  In fact, the Capone card I have is the lowest limit I have.  It was not until 3 days ago.  I had a Belks card I got 3 months ago which had a $200 limit and I have never used.  They seemed fit to give me a limit of $800 for never using their card.  (Yeah, I find that a bit amusing, but what the heck.)  Walmart started me off with $500 and after 3 months raised it to $1000 and I hardly use the card.  I don't think I have charged more than $225 to the card. 

 

Good luck

+1 It's a credit step, but a CLI is good by any means!
