Love GEMB

Hit the luv button on my Sams card and BAM 3000.00CLI(I think I also got the Sam's Discover as well).Feeling happy so I hit the LUV button at Lowe's and BAM 1200.00CLI.

GEMB works for me...

Congratulations!

The GEMB Luv button has never worked for me,  BUT GEMB has given me some SWEET credit line increases regularly, taking my once $150 credit limit at JCPenneys up to $1700.

Re: Love GEMB

Congrats! How long have you had both cards? I have a few cards with them, and they just will not increase 3 of my cards! I use them heavily, so maybe I should wait past 6 months.

Normally you can ask for CLI every 4 months with all GEMB Cards.

Re: Love GEMB

With my Wal Mart GEMB card, I have success every 4 months with the luv button.  If I try it at 3 months, 29 days, I get nothing.  If I try again 3 days later, I get a CLI.  It is typically only an increase of $100-$150 each time, but I have managed to take a $900 CL card up to $1600 in a little over two years.  One time, my card was  even $2 over the limit when I tried it and they still gave me a CLI (talk about an easy way to get an overlimit card back under the limit!).

 

I just wish I could start getting more than $100 - $150 each time.

Re: Love GEMB

Congrats!  I haven't been able to get in with GEMB yet.  I've tried for the Amazon card and the CarCareOne card within the past 6 months and was denied on both accounts.  My scores aren't really THAT bad, I was sort of surprised but I do wish to have the Amazon card one of these years since I  buy something off the site regularly.
