+1 - just leave them open and let them sit. After your numbers update, I think they will show you some luv... I can br frutrating though, I had a JCP card that I opened in 1996 with a $200 limit. I used it a few times and that was it. I honestly forgot I had the card. 

Early last year, I was doinf the Annual Credit Report thing and found it. I called them asking to send me a new card and could I get a higher credit limit. They would send me a new card of course, but would not increase my credit line. So, I closed the account.

Fast forward to late last year, I applied and got another JCP card with a $250 limit!  But after reading on the forums here, I spent a few $$$ on the card and waitied for the 4th statement to cut. After that happened, I hit the luv button and they brought me up to $2400 where it sits today.

Patience my friend! All good things come to those who wait.

I can tell you in less than a year my pennys account went from 100 -1300. I know its very emotional and its very aggravating. But I do agree with others, just wait.

Banish them to the sock drawer but don't let them sit there too long. Let's say you use them twice a year to avoid possible cld. No AF so its all good.

With these cards you never know. You can get a CLI anytime. I would just leave them open.

Are these cards being used for purchases? If not, then you really can't expect a CLI.

I've used the JCP a few times, 3 to be exact. The ON card i've spent about 300 maybe a little more on it.

So yes, I do expect CLI's and will not stop unitl I get them!

Have you spoken to a person on the phone about your disappointment with your low CLs? I did that a few years ago for ON and my CL was randomly bumped up from $600 to $800 to $1K after some time. It may be worth a try. 

And have you opened any new CC accounts lately? That may be a factor as well.
