No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Lets say a bank does not do a pull of any kind and they base your CLI on performance with that particular banks card...
How do they determine what kind of increase you will get?
My CL is low 200.00 and Citi reps tell me if I am going to spend over that send in weekly checks...
So, if I send in lets say 1000 a month and use my card and PIF every month, when they give me an increase do you think it would be higher because I am charging a lot and paying it off?
Thanks

Hi Andy77,
Do you mean overpaying, and then charging (or attempting to) over your $200 credit limit? Or, do you mean charging up to $200 five times in a month, and paying the balance in full ($200) five times?
The reason that I'm differentiating between the two is because the former could make it appear that you're mismanaging your credit (going over the limit), which could delay or prevent your CLI goals. The latter might be managable, but I don't think that CITI allows that many payments per month. And, I think you could achieve the goal of fully utilizing your credit line and demonstrating the your need for a larger credit line by charging up to the limit (don't go over, though!) and PIFing once in a month.
