I just called the backdoor number again and got another increase to $6,000.00!! That was only 6 days inbetween increases and I have only had my card for 2 months! I charged a printer on it and then paid it in full and have not used it since! I think because Christmas is coming up, they are being more lenient with the increases. I suggest to those who want increases to call the backdoor number!
Congratulations and you inspired me. I called and got an increase from $1100 to $3000! Yes..we love Walmart/GE!
Starting Score: ?

Congrats!! Why are you asking for the amounts your asking for? Do u have other limits that high or are you aiming for the stars? My walmart card started at 600.00 back on Sept. I called a month later and asked for 1000.00 and they gave it to me....I was afraid to ask for more. I called Monday and asked for 2,000 and they said I needed more time at my limit. I never know if I am asking too high or too low
I do have limits that high. Higher actually. My highest is 16,000 cash rewards at NFCU. I apped for the card online and I thought 700 was a bit low. Using the wealth of information found here in the forum, I was able to get it up to the 6,000. I actually won't be asking for anymore increase and any that I get will be auto increases.
