Did a CLI increase on my AMEX Costco Card Soft Pull or Hard Pull?

Been with them since 2008, never requested for a CLI, my CLI was at 3000, so I requested an increase to 10,000, they instant approved me for a limit to 7,100, which is not bad from 3000.

 

Now my question would be, is this going to be a hard pull or a soft pull?

I did this through their online banking, and on the request page it never mentioned anything about hard pulls or soft pulls.

Congrats on the SP CLISmiley Wink

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Did a CLI increase on my AMEX Costco Card Soft Pull or Hard Pull?

Cool beans! I am glad AMEX is an awesome company that only does SP instead of HP!

I've always paid my balances in full since I had it and never been late on any of my cards payments since I have all of them on auto pay.

 

I will probably talk to them again in a year or two to request another increase, but for now I am happy with my Limits!

Re: Did a CLI increase on my AMEX Costco Card Soft Pull or Hard Pull?

I am glad I found this website, I actually started visiting this site when I first got my first ever CC.

My first ever credit score (FICO) I ever got was from this site too. Smiley Very Happy

Now just sit back and keep building that credit and hopefully hit the 780+ mark by year end by staying off any HP's.
