mine is 800(initial)
was thinking about asking for 2k?(proabably counter with 1500)
end of october will be 4 months since opening.
ive put on about 200 all pif before statement cuts.
They may double you up to $1600 as long as your fies are looking good.
+1 could calll a UW now for an increase, unless prefer to wait the 4 months for eligiblity to request via the automated telephonic system.

the only thing that has changed is aaoa dropped.
but both walmart and american eagle (ge cards are pif and 0 balance since july of this year)
walmart i put about 200 through and ae i put about 450-500 (getting a 40% off coupon to spend even more money)
i think ill call right now lol... debating it. asking for 3k on walmart (800 right now) and 2500 on ae (not expecting it but i wasnt expecting macys to give me 3.5k limit ethier)
btw i clicked on it for giggles on the website after my statement posted and they both said that online they are not doing cli via that and to call the number on the back of my card.

Ask for $3k and let them counter that. I was instantly approved for the $2k I asked for. Starting limit $800 as well.
