Target CLI

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:54:25 GMT

So, in August and September, I did a round of applications. Well, my first reward has propped up. My Target CLI has doubled from the initial $350 limit to $700. It's minor, but, hopefully, this is a sign of things to come. I want to get rid of my Capital One secured card once my cards from this year have aged enough.

Congrats! I've been stuck at $500 with them since 2008.

You have no idea how lucky you are!!!! 3 years and counting and stuck at 1K. No CLI in sight.

I had a credit limit of $200 when I first opened my account in 2006. I tried everything from paying in full to carrying a little bit of a balance. Fast forward to 2013... still no CLI. I have asked multiple times and all they would say is that when it is eligible for an increase it will happen. Hopefully yours will turn out different!

That doesn't sound too promising, sorry to hear that and I don't understand since you'll been with them since 2006 and no cli?? Maybe you should talk to a supervisor and let them know how much of a loyal customer you are and threaten to cancel. Maybe that'll get their attention. Hopefully mine wouldn't be the same. I'll keep you updated on any increase that I get.

Well...I've had my account since 2001 and have had NO CLI's. Still at $200.

My only CLI with them was the $200 to $1000 when they auto converted from Target to Target Visa

I have a relatively good CL (for Target) but I missed out on the conversions to Visa. That's fine with me, though, I got over it

I wish that I'd done that conversion when it was offered to me. *sigh*
