Would I be crazy to ask for another?

I am debating on asking for another CLI on my BOA card, I've gotten two in the last three months and use the heck out of it.  I am not 100% sure yet if I want to request another or not.   I think I need an intervention. hahah

Total CL: $40k+

Re: Would I be crazy to ask for another?

did you the 2 from AUTO CLI? if you asked them, did they require HP's? If you just got the card, and initiated 2 CLKI requests, thats 3 HP's total..if thats the case..I'd cool it.

If you dont mind a new hard pull on your report... Why Not??? They will tell you if you have reached the max credit they will allow based on your credit report and income.  

I have 2 cards with BoA with a total CL of $30k. I have only had their cards since April of this year.

I don't have any inquiries on my TU and that is the CRA they use to do increases.  I've had the card since March-ish of this year.

How long have you had the card because 2 HP's in 3 months that you have to live with for 2 years Ouch 

And your thinking of a 3rd HP....

Depending on when you got the card possible 3 HP's that's a lot for one product

Those HP's IMHO could have been used for other products on your list if you have others.

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Would I be crazy to ask for another?

Hard pulls mean nothing if you are going to garden for a while anyways. if that's the case, at least you are comfortable with your limits and know that you wont be apping for anything anytime soon...and also not getting a car or home loan. 

 

Hard Pulls diminish with time...and as I said..if you will be gardening for a while...your Fico score shouldnt really matter until you're ready to app for another card, car loan, or home loan.

Re: Would I be crazy to ask for another?

The two increases I got only took one HP but I currently have NO hp's on my TU report.  It is clean at the moment.  Honestly I don't want any other CC's at the moment, I want the ones I have to grow, namely Walmart, Sams, BOA and Barclay.  

 

I think I'm going to wait!
