I asked for a CLI at activation and (after hard pull) was approved for an increase from $2000 to $5000.

I'm not sure if once the account is established you'd have to wait a certain amount of time, but it may be worth asking. Since they do a hard pull, hopefully they would be able to tell you ahead of time if your account is too new to even want to try for an increase, but I really don't know for certain.

ETA - this was for Chase Freedom, in case that makes any difference.

I asked for CLI from $3800 to $5000. They declined my request. Oh well. We can not win them all....

I got one after 2 months but that's becauase they gave me a piddily $1000CL and I was putting 2 1/2x that much through the card each month and PIF every week. I told them it was getting really old and they upped me to $3k, but they lady was pretty tough as nails and didn't want to to do it. I asked for $4K and she said she could only give me $3k.

My chase Card is Starbucks card and I primarily use to buy White Mocha at Starbucks. I dont think I can drink that much White Mocha every month to max my CL. .....

Rumor has it they might auto-CLI at the anniversary.

I don't think there is a minimum waiting period for the first CLI, but after that is 6 months if I recall correctly.

I was told 6 months on two seperate occassions. I have also seen other members here post this as well, so there must be something to it.

Since they want a hard pull to do so, I think I will sit on the 10k they have given me.

I asked for (and recieved) a CLI last November - cost a hard pull. I am now just going to sit and wait, and if it goes up - good. If not - no sweat

Ha, that would be difficult to do. Though, I do spend a bundle at Starbucks, myself!
