Another Target RedCard Bump

JayTee1 — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 20:35:12 GMT

Last month, I left a balance on my red card and received an increase from $1300 to $1800.

I did the same thing this month, and went from $1800->$3000. Kinda weird, but I guess that's how it works. I still pay my balance in full every month, I have just changed my bill paying schedule a little bit so I'm paying this one after the statement cuts now.

I should add that my spending habits haven't changed ... I usually put anywhere from $0-250 in a given month on that card.

Congrats!

I got my first CLI 5yrs after getting the card. I always kept it maxed out and started paying down and didn't use it for 2 months and got my first CLI followed by 3 more.

Still have a hefty balance: 1200/1700, but it's going down, slowly but surely

Congrats! So happy to finally see CLIs galore on these cards. Kind of embarrassing during a manual review, "Okay, K-in-Boston, we see that you have $40,000 here, $24,000 there, yes $15,000 on all of these, but you have one that has been open for many years with a high balance of $1200 and a credit line of only $800?"

Nice! I hope mine bumps like that.

I let my first balance report last month to test. $104.

Ive never reported a balance before. In 11 months its gone from $300-$1100. I will see! haha.

Edit to add/opps spelling...

I spend much like you OP.
