Congrats !!

 

It's a GE card so you could ask for a CLI every 4 months and it will be a soft pull.

 

Make sure you keep the card active. Some little things here and there. GE likes to see usage.

Dont wait 4 months. Call the backdoor number and ask for a more usable limit. I called the day after I got my $500 limit and they increased my limit to $2500 before I even had the card in my hands.

They want to see you use it too, even if just for small things.  They will deny you a CLI until you use it in a lot of cases.  They want you to have experience with your currect limit before they grant you a CLI.  Ask me how I know.

Re: Lowes approved! Help

Just had my 3 year anniversary with the card.  Maxed out at 10K now.  They would give me CLI's like clockwork every six months and six statements.  Started around 4500 with a 700 TU.  Just paid it back to $0  bal. again. Been using their no interest promo's on a regular basis....best thing about the card.
