Credit Cards

[laboi_22]

I'm not upset, but I just logged in to my account for Dillards AMEX. I was increased to 3,000 without asking. I don't mind and that is a VERY nice increase, but I'm starting to learn GE's auto CLI patters. I was about to click the CLI button on Dillards when the statement cut this month. I was going to ask for 3,500. Do you think they auto increase before you have a chance to request because the would rather choose the increase amount? Same thing has ocurred for my Lowe's card and my Gap Visa. Thoughts...

Just a little heads up here. Even after they gave you an auto increase you can call the back door number and ask for more. Thursday night my Walmart card was 1300. Logged in Friday morning and it was 2600. I called Friday afternoon and asked for an increase and the asked me how much. I said I wanted my limit to be 8000. The asked 3 questions and tada my limit is now 8000.

I just posted on the Walmart - Walmart Discover about the increase.  My Walmart Discover card went from 1500 to 4500, then from 4500 to 7500 with another automated phone call.  Sam's Discover went from 1600 to 6600 with one automated call because system was down(which was then transferred to rep), called back for the automated system again and was increased to 10,000. Figured I'd better leave GE alone just in case there's a glitch.  We'll see.

Those are some awesome increases. If I could get my Dillard's AMEX and my Gap Visa to 10,000 I'll be more than satisfied!!
