Merrill+ Visa "Request Increase" ?

[TKDALLSTAR]

I have a Merrill + Visa Card. When I logged into my account online, there was a "Request Increase" next to my $7,500 credit line.

Question is -- What is that? It was not on my account a week ago, and just appeared.  What will happen if I request an increase, but do not put a value in to increase it to?

if it wasn't there before and is there now... sounds like they want to give you more credit!

put in 12k or 15k!!! shoot high, maybe they will counter

I don't have the card.

Am guessing that you qualify for one for the first time, or this is new.  If you don't enter a value I would say it will give you an error message.

Before you try, call the company and ask them what kind of pull or review it unless you are ok with a hard INQ.  Maybe they can also tell you the max they are able to give you from internal review.

Well -- I called in to ML+ and they said my increase is being processed.....?

I left the amount blank and they said they would try to give me the max possible....

Don't get me wrong, it's a great card, and I have already racked up a lot of points!
