GE Walmart CLI question

I just got a GE Walmart card with the initial CL of $900.  I was wondering if I could call GE and request an immediate CLI? If so which number would be best?

 

Thanks

Mark

The sticky at the top of the page backdoor numbers under GECRB Credit Solutions. You can try but you may have to wait.

Re: GE Walmart CLI question

I just called...no dice Smiley Sad  Asked for 3K!

 

So when should I try again...is it the 4th statement rule?

That seems to be the consensus wait a couple days after fourth statement posts.

Fourth statement. Others report great results, mine have been underwhelming. I went from $750 to $1700 in a year, however I didn't have much usage after the first six months. Some report much more than that over the course of a year. Free FICO is nice though!

Mine have been as well bro. I got denied for a cli like 40 times. I have been approved 6 times. I got a cli around the 4th or 5th statement from 700 to 1200. Then a bunch of denials (probably 30); then one day (less than 2 weeks ago) I got my highest wal mart TU score ever (725 up from 720). So I hit the luv button and it worked--taking me up to 1600. So I immediately call credit solutions. I wanted to be conservative because they reject me so often, so I asked for 4k. It got approved, so I decided that I would call and ask for more the next morning--approved again for 6k. I posted about it here and I was told that I should have asked for 10k, so once I was convinced I decided that I'll just ask for 10k in the morning--which I did, and got approved. I decided to stop there--though it's tempting to call them back and ask for 15k.

 

My first year of having the card is in 4 days.

Re: GE Walmart CLI question

Whoa, that's pretty awesome. Mine jumped to 1700 from the luv button a couple of weeks ago. You think it's worth calling in again now? Or has it been too long. My walmart TU is up to 695

Re: GE Walmart CLI question

When I got mine last year initial CL was $1200. About the months later they game me an auto CLI to $2400. Nothing since then and haven't bothered to request one.

Re: GE Walmart CLI question

Received my Walmart Discover card about 2 months ago and called the backdoor number to request a higher line... after a few questions and answers, approved for 10k :-)
