Will increasing cc lines change score ?

[rtoshow]

Just curious about something. If you have a department store or any cc for that matter, and you get a credit limit increase, will it make any changes to your credit score ? In addition, when you attempt to get that increase, will the holder run you again for credit worthiness or do they typically base it on their internal record that you have as a customer ? If they do re-run you, will that show up as a standard inquiry & reduce your score or is it a different thing entirely ? Thanks for any advice. Tim

Generally - increased CLs will reduce your utilization (good)

Many CCCs seem to do a hard pull for a CL increase you ask for (bad, but goes away)
