No back door love from GE...

[masscredit]

I called GE's backdoor number today. I tried to get a CLI from $700. to $1200. I've had the card for 8 months and received one auto CLI from $600.-$700. after a few months. I give the card use, pay more than the minimum and paid off the balance of $430. a few weeks ago. Went through the normal questions and was denied. They seem to love me less than my ex-wife!

But, I got a $1700. auto-CLI from Barclays a few weeks ago and called Cap 1 today and received a $1k increase. Don't know why it's so hard to get anything else from GE.

I would wait for the denial letter to come in and let us know what the reasons are.

from my experience, it varies with the card.

I got paypal mastercard and amazons store card same day. at 4 months i was ble to go from 1K-2K on paypayl, amazon wouldn't move uuntil 7 months, 1.4K to 2K.

8th month paypal went 2K-4K. 11th month amazon 2K to 2.5K 12month paypal 4K to 5.5K. I am now at month 15, and amazon is back to denying CLi. dont have the paypal anymore

Negative things on my account are -

BK discharged 2/2010

5 Tax leins

Other than that, everything is paid on time (100%). My Target app was approved last Aug and I recieved a $3k limit. From what I've read here, that's kind of high for that card. I'm not even going to bother trying to increase that one. 

I was going to ask about a CLI for JCP but I didn't bother after he said no for the Walmart card. 

For Cap 1, I asked who I would talk to for an increase on Orchard account.  The woman said she's forget my info to a person that can help me and I should get a call in a day or two. 

I guess it's just hit or miss. 

After trying for these increases, I'll just watch my scores then try for some prime cards after they crest 700.
