Just Received HSBC Auto CLI

Hey everyone.  Wanted to report that I received a letter from HSBC informing me of an auto CLI to my MC.  They gave me $800 making my new limit $3100.  I was pleasantly surprised!

NICE JOB!  it was an automatic CLI? You did not request it? I called and asked for a CLI 2 weeks ago and they put me on with a manager who informed me that they are not doing any CLI's at all at this time.

Yes, it was totally random, unsolicited.  Miracles do happen huh?  haha

 

Just a little history on my card in case anyone wonders - I've had it for almost 3 years and  use it for all of my monthly expenses and pay it off in full before the due date each month.   I also have 2% rewards on this card and get a $25 cash back check almost every 6 weeks.  I'm waiting for them to pull the plug on that but so far they haven't.

Outstanding job! may I ask if you were carrying a ballance when the CLI happened? You didn't happen to make a payment that PIF the account did you? I had that happen on my old tribute mastercard one time. I Paid it in full (was going to cancell it) and they bumped me up automatically.

 

either way! congrats.

Thank you! 

 

No, my HSBC card has not had a zero balance since I've had it.  But I do pay the statement balance in full each month.  I've never paid interest on this card.

Re: Just Received HSBC Auto CLI

no fair!  my hsbc is next on the chopping block.  with my new nfcu cashrewards visa that i just got approved for at $5,000, my $320 limit on my hsbc card is looking less and less helpful.

Congrats.

 

I only received one auto increase on my HSBC Platinum card just months after I opened the card and that was that. My current limit stands at $4,750. I opened it in 2006.

Re: Just Received HSBC Auto CLI

Congrats to those who got/get auto CLIs from HSBC.

 

I know that no CLI is coming for the measly $300 limit (which is 2-3% of the rest of my limits) card I've had over 10 years.

 

What makes this a joke is that I have no derogatory information on my file in any sense of the term and all three of my Fico scores are at least 780 -- 799 EQ, 793 EX and 780 TU.

 

But I can't catch a break from these guys.
