Yay GE store card increases!

I got a nice $200.00 auto boost on both my Amazon and Walmart card. Do you think now is a good time to call and see about asking to get it a little higher? I was thinking of asking for them to bump up my credit to $1,000 on walmart and 1,250 on Amazon. Thoughts? Will it be easy?

Re: Yay GE store card increases!

Woohoo! I got my Walmart card increased to 1,000! That's a +$400 increase overall from my original $600 limit. I had to call the number where the people were located in another country since the first number with an american speaking woman denied me. Now I just need to try Amazon and we should be good!

 

I feel like I should have asked for more but I'm not going to be greedy.

Re: Yay GE store card increases!

Called them again and was able to bump up my card to 1,400 for Amazon. Eee! Our highest limit yet!

 

So +400 CLI for Walmart and +700 CLI for Amazon! Happy!

 

Now to wait a few months and try again. Smiley Happy
