Walmart Store Card

I'm in need of advice from everybody that get successful CLI with this card.

Did you use the card a lot?

Did you let a balance report on each statement or do you pay it off after every purchase?

Does the card report statement balance or balance at the end of the month like some credit cards?


I was just approved for it a few days ago and I wanna get to know the card before I get it. Thanks in advance!

Re: Walmart Store Card

 I got the card in late Sept. Didn't use it until Oct, bought some groceries let a sm bal report. November bought some groceries again let a sm bal report. Called for CLI for Black Friday and they said no.  A week later, the first of December I got and auto increase. I called anyway and got another increase the same day.   Started at $700 it's now at $1000. I didn't ask for more than that cause I thought well, I had only used it twice and for less than $100 each time. 

 

Next time, I'm going to ask for more- all they can say is no.

Re: Walmart Store Card

Yeah, I read of people asking for 1-2k and getting it. Some of them even said they only used it once and still got a big CLI.

Thanks for the info!

Re: Walmart Store Card

I think all GE cards underwriting are the same, so in my experience with my Amazon card I use it heavy like every other month and of course during holiday season also make large payments. I had a blance of 750 with a 5K limit and was approved for a CLI to 10K. I think a lot of usage is good, I state that I shop at Amazon alot when I ask a CLI.

 

Gotta luv GE!!

Re: Walmart Store Card

My aaoa is probably 2 months and no baddies at all. My Capital One is my oldest account at 7 months and Walmart being my newest account.

3 credit cards and 2 store cards.

i think in 4 months when your aaoa will be about 6 months will be a good time to ask for a cli. (point wise and aaoa wise)

you can use and pay what you like until a month before then. so when you ask for a cli to have only 9% or less reporting total. 

so if you have 1k total in limits only let less then 100 dollars report on your cap one card. 

 

at the time of requests my aaoa was about 7 months(oldest account was 2 years old though) i beleive in a couple days it will be aging past the 10.454545 mark according to my spreadsheet =)
