What a GE CLI day!...

I am such a dingbat sometimes! I read the threads about everybody getting GE increases and thought, hey, I should try too!

So, I called in on JC Penney, and they upped me from $1800 to $2300 this morning, (which was all I asked for).

Encouraged by this and the other threads, I called for Sam's Club Discover and went from $2900 to $3500 (again, all I asked for)

 

In the process, I pulled out my CR to answer a question on a thread and while there I saw something...

 

DIcks Sporting Good MC, CL $124.  A fixture of the SD!

Since I have a high util%, I thought, maybe pull out the Dicks and actually activate that card (from 1 yr ago Smiley Embarassed) and try and get a CLI to help my numbers. Afraid of rejection or getting a LIVE CSR who will tell me NO, I call and bravely ask for a CLI from $124 to $2000. And- approved!

 

$3100 of new available credit will certainly help my numbers a bit! I wonder how much higher they would have gone if I wasn't such a chicken? Smiley Frustrated
