Re: Show me the money!!! (Income thresholds )

Income: $110-$160k. I don't include spouses income.

 

Highest starting line: $4k

 

Highest limit: $49k Discover. Started out at $4k 3 years ago, asked for CLI, all were softpull and went up to $49k within 1.5 years. I havn't asked for a CLI in 1.5 years so I'm sure it could go higher but don't want to for credit score reasons. My other 2 cards started out at $200 and $500 and were stuck at $4k (capital one) and 11k (chase) for years until I got Discover. They have since grew to $17k (all soft pulls and spending) and $20k (one hard pull).

$90K on the nose. I also get bonuses, don't usually include them on apps.

 

CLs are in my sig. Reports are EQ 784 / TU 784 / EX 785 (just recently--increased by over 100 points after paying off a lot of debt this Fall). 


Have you considered combining your two BoA's for one larger limit?

Im so far under that 50k threshold, there should be a category just barely eligble for anything credit related.Lol, dont believe me , ask Penfed haha.


I’m in that you are a broke mofo category lol, but great credit for the insanely poor :-) My two cards have $2500 and $4000 limits. My lowest one is due for the love button in a couple weeks :-) credit scores average about 703.
