To the title "That's what he said!"... not me, maybe some other guys... hahahahaha sorry couldnt help myself Smiley Very Happy

 

Good job on the cards and the nice CLIs! I'm new to this whole thing too, so I'm glad to see others doing well as newbies too. I was considering a card like that (GE backed?) as well, maybe Wal Mart. I have had a Gold card since 2011, and just this week got a AMEX BCE and a Amazon Vis at $2,000 and $400 respectively. I'm a little disappointed with the Amazon limit (probably due to my college student income), and I know Chase is stubborn on their CLIs, so I was thinking about a card that rewards low balances with auto CLIs and can take me into a nice, couple thousand respectable range. Or, maybe just sit in the garden and get some growth like you are!

Like others have said, those are very good percentage and multiple size increases!

 

Don't look at your credit  and think "well, it's not much compared to those here with 10k cards",  look at it in the way someone in finance sees things  "those are HUGE percentage increases on my CLs!"  

 

Congrats, keep up the good work Smiley Happy

Since the others did the increase on their own, I tried Lowes for an increase. Called the number listed here, and got an increase from $300 to $666. Number scared me! I thought it would be just $600! I called back, and they upped it to $700! :smileyhappy:
