My first $1,000 limit!

I am now the proud owner of a $1,100 limit Overstock card! I know it probably seems sad to some that I'd be happy about this but it's a big moment for me Smiley Happy

I initially got approved for $500 one month ago. I immediately requested a CLI and got increased to $800. I bought a $99 rug I'd been wanting and paid it off yesterday. My 1st statement cut today and I figured I'd try for a CLI. Boom, instant approval of $1,100!

I have such a long way to go, and I'm realizing that I am the tortoise, not the hare, in this rebuilding journey. But I'm excited about this positive step forward!

Thank you for all the wonderful advice & support this forum provides!!

Ask them for one a day or 2 after every statement. Hubby has gotten one every month since he opened the account, all SP. His are always 200, but looks like yours might be 300. It makes a nice cushion for UTI when you are just starting.

That's great! And remember the hare did NOT win the race. You are heading in the right direction!

I couldn't remember if it was every 30 or 31 days, that why I said a day or 2 after the statement.   I figured it would probably cover whichever one it was.  Thank you for reminding me.

The first 4 digit limit is always nice...keep working at it.

Congrats! I get the $200 CLI every statement (if I initiate it) but will take what they give me...
