Hey folks,
So I did all my holiday shopping this weekend and applied for and was approved for a Macy's card (not sure if its the AMEX) but when I called to inquire about my limit via the automated system I learned my limit was $600.00 and I'm not too happy with that considering I was also approved for a Dillards AMEX with a $1000.00 limit the same day. Should I just take the $600.00 or do you think it's worth a recon call to inquire about a CLI?
Starting Score: EX 586 EQ 551 TU 583
Pshh my sister got a $300 CL $600 sounds pretty good for me maybe you should just keep and create a great payment histoty and request a cli in the next 4 to 6 months? I ve see some great current cli, one guy from the forums got his CL from $300 to $1,500 maybe you can go from $600 to $2000. If you show them you can mange your credit limit correctly.

It will grow. I started out with a $600 Macy's limit as well years ago and it eventually grew to $1,500 on its own, without even making any purchases.
