I app'd for a Sears card last saturday and got insta approved for a $2.5k CL. The issue is that they pulled twice, few days apart. They pulled saturday (reported on Sunday on CK) and pulled again yesterday (reported today on CK). I did call to ask if this was the MC card and general info about CLIs, but NEVER asked for a CLI. I did add an authorized user. The card doesn't even report the limit on CK yet!
Since I plan on going app-free for 6 months to a year it won't really affect me credit-wise, but it does bother me. To clarify: I didn't ask for a CLI, just general information if it is automatic (SP every 6 months), if I request one (any time and always HP), if it was the MC (not available to Puerto Rico) and if the authorized user reported to the credit agencies (yes).

They are both HP and on transunion (can't check experian till next month on credit.com). I'm waiting for the card to report to see what the limit is in case I get an increase and will leave it at that if I do. If I get a denial I'll dispute it if I have a chance at getting it removed. How hard is it to get a CCC to remove a HP? I thought that HPs couldn't be removed by the CCC and I had to dispute it with the CRA.
