Can someone please clarify for me. I would like to ask for cli on my walmart discover. Do I activate the card first and then call the number on the back or was I supposed to ask for the cli at the time of approval or just before receiving the card?????????
Sure would appreciate the advice.
Starting Score: 722Help please
Ok. Guess I've read so many posts I got confused, but I could of swore I read somewhere that you could ask for the limit increase somewhere in the beginning. 
Thanks for the support. I have not activated it yet. I was awaiting some feedback regarding the best route. Perhaps the activation cli was for another card.

I mean, they just pulled your credit and said how much of a CL you could have... why do you think you should be able to immediately call and ask for more? Use what they've given you for a few months and then you can ask for more!
Well, personally I don't have a hard time asking for anything that I want. I do however believe that this board is about positive useful advice to assist in the growth of one's credit. I am certain that I have read the same questions I asked to be very similar concerns of others. Also, others have spoken of great success with ulterior methods.
While I do appreciate your feedback and personal opinion... I would appreciate that you not attack my person. I think along the lines of many others except of course you. "One definitely will not receive unless one asks!"
Thanks again for your input, but I will strive to keep my glass half full.
Not attacking you. I was using "you" in the general sense. For the most part I concur with your stance on not receiving unless you ask, it's just that asking right away seems counter-intuitive. But that's just me, I'm crazy like that. 
I do tend to look at things a little differently sometimes. Seriously, though, not out to attack anyone; I'm sorry if it came across that way.
LOL! It's all good!!!!!!!
I think I messed up or confused the order of the process by not asking earlier and was just trying to receive confirmation.

Case in point, on Monday night I applied for a Lowes card (also backed by GEMB) and instantly approved with a $500 limit. On Tues I called the number and asked for a more usable limit of $2500. It was instantly approved. I quintupled my credit limit within 12 he's of applying and being granted the card.
Oh, I know, I've read about it many times before. It just doesn't "feel" right for me, but maybe I'll give it a shot the next time I apply for a card.
Great. Now you've done it... which card do I apply for next?!
