My second credit card which was a Amex Blue Sky had starting limit of 3500
Exactly 24 years ago this month, Amex gave me a starting CL of $4,100 on an Optima card. I had opened my first Amex (green, later upgraded to a gold card) in January of that same year (1989).
I had that same $4,100 limit until last year when I asked for my very first CLI on that card. Now the card is at $25,000....all thanks to the knowledge shared on this forum. This forum has really opened my eyes....I have learned so much here!

I kind of have the "Fog of War" thing going with anything before myFICO and my rebuilding time. If you want my first CCs with that limit. It would have either been either:
First USA Visa now Chase or MBNA now BOA. I can't remember which. But that was a lifetime ago.
Walmart.
I got a CLI from 800 to 2k on the 4th statement and now it's at 5k! Hopefully I can get a big CLI with DCU and Discover once they hit the 1 year mark.
