😂

It's not money... it's just the ability to borrow money. Which is not the same as money, because banks have this funny habit of wanting you to pay it back to them if you borrow it.

It's a possibility. Taking a glass 1/2 full approach, there may be room for your card to continue to grow. Enjoy your CLI!

It's hard to say. Often that is true. Sometimes, not. I believe I left money on the table with my Penfed cli's, but I asked for what I needed for my portfolio. Some in the forum have asked for a standard 25k and let the card issuer make a counter offer. It's all in your style and comfort zone.

Maybe and maybe not, but why think about what may or may not have been. Enjoy what did happen and that's getting what you asked for.

Leaving money on the table means it's left for cards you don't even have yet.

If it's Synchrony, you can talk to another agent (or the same agent a second time) and request an additional CLI.

How so? The money is not yours to begin with.

That's pretty understandable. It's like if you offer a price for something you want to buy in a situation where one could haggle, like a flea market, and the seller just immediately accepts. You can't help but wonder if you could have offered less.

I can understand the thought of leaving money on the table. I believe I've done it several times.

If it makes you or me feel any better, the leftover money never goes to waste because someone much bolder than us will come along and snatch it right up with no problem!!
