Victoria Secret CLI!!!

[bear812c]

I just logged on to my Victoria Secret account to pay my bill and noticed that they increased my credit limit by more than double!!! I didn't even request a CLI from them. I am so thrilled!!! Back in 2008 when all my troubles became apparent they lowered my credit line to $100 but I was just thankful they kept my TL open and now they've given it back to me and then some. Feels great!!

Don't waste inquiries on VS.  You can see if you're approved via the shopping cart.

Only call for an increase every 4 months.  They do a soft pull.  I would also call, their representives are usually fairly friendly.  I started with a $250 limit and I'm at $1020.  The account will be 2 years in July. I originally applied for a card in April of 2011 and was declined.  I went to my cart in July and BOOM! Would you like to put this on your Angel's card appeared.  They give fairly quick increases and from what I have seen the highest limit is around $3k

If you dont mind me asking, what was your credit score when you applied in April and was denied?

I believe it was around 570.  From what I've read 602 and above is guaranteed.  Anything lower, you may be better off applying on the phone or continuing to try with the shopping cart option.
