Thanks
YES, if you just applied like as in now... CALL NOW! you will most likely get front line CSR calling the number out of sticky above, but ask to be transferred to Credit Analyst to reconsider higher limit, don't let CSR submit for a CLI... also they will ask if it is okay to pull credit (they are usualy good about saying this is a soft, and it IS! so don't worry, and ask HIGH, they will counter... don't go asking for $1000 when you might be able to get $5k!

I guess something was better than nothing

Everyone's situation is different, but the potential is there. My DH was approved for a Lowe's card with a starting limit of $300. After 3 months, they bumped him up to $600. And four months after that, they bumped him up again, this time to $6500. It grew very quickly. Good luck, and may yours grow for you as well.

You could probably call the backdoor number on Monday and get that raised to who knows what $10-$20k based on what other kind of limits you have. $6k is impressive starting line with GE I would say!
