CLI on a Meijer (Comenity) card?

kberly69 — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 20:29:18 GMT

I have the Meijer store card with a paltry limit ($500) and was wondering if anyone out there has any info about when that speciific card will grant a CLI. I sent a secure message to them and received the same cut-and-paste-no-information reply twice. I've had five statements cut, have used it each month and paid in full. I was able to get one on my Overstock card, which I've used less. I can't anything out there about the Meijer store card.

Have you tried pushing a luv button or calling the automated line on your card ?

Oh, yes. My letters tell me my account is too new. They wouldn't tell me at what point it becomes "old"

Some of the Comenity cards don't budge for 9 months. Meijer might be one of them. :-(

This card blows..i have one store version since mid 2012 and barely got cli to $2450.

They allow one cli every 6 months.(like $300 to $500 ach time they approved you)

I cannot get cli online or robo lady i have to talk to a human each time ..

Ugh. I figured it wasn't going to be much. I've already decided I'll just use it for a tank of gas or two because the 10 cents off is nice but I'm not babysitting this thing to keep utilization down.

And yes, I confirmed with a CSR that it is only after 6 months. 4 more days...

So, update... my sixth statement hit two days ago (I guess I was off on the timing a little). I hit the CLI button, and..... 7-10 day nasty red box comes up. I even called robo-lady the next day to see if maybe there was a delay.... nope. Now I wait for the envelope and see what sin I have commited now. I have run almost $2800 through this stupid, tiny, little card and I am so irritated!

I do too but I have found you're better off getting your groceries through a regular rewards credit card. The limit is so low on these cards, it's a joke tyring to keep utilization low if you spend much. The rewards aren't great ($10 for every $750 spent) so you get more out of a standard 1.5% cash back card.

I do like it for gas though- 10 cents off every gallon, which at prices around me means close to 5% off so if you buy gas there, it's worth the pull.

I don't expect my naughty letters to arrive for another week or two but I will post what they say.

I received my letter today. The reason given for no CLI: account too new. What a joke

Update on the updated update: I called Comenity to find out what gives. This guy told me I would be eligible after the closing date for this upcoming statement. So, it's really essentially seven statements. More to come in the continuing and riveting tale of Why I Can Only Use My Meijer Card for a Couple Tanks of Gas

Re: CLI on a Meijer (Comenity) card?

And, the morning after the seventh statement hit..... a whopping $250 increase. It was as expected, but disappointing noneltheless.

I got this card in January with a $28,000 limit. I have hit the luv button every day since it came in the mail. Each time they have given me $1,000. I am now up to $125,000 limit. Then I woke up and realized the only thing the card is good for is the gas discount, so I was happy I was dreaming all this.

Exactly! Now I'm up to about three tanks, unless prices keep going up

How I will not miss the price of gas when I get transferred to my new position.

I envy you. Between work and life, I drive an awful lot.

Well where I am being transferred to has great subways and horrible driving. I will also be able to either walk across the street to work or at least a short distance. I will more than likely live a very short distance from either a grocery store or a market. Restaurants will also be very inexpensive and everywhere. The drawbacks will be they all speak a language I am not fluent, some people will try and cheat me becuase I am from another country (they don't know I have experience with this already), and they beep at you to get out of the way even when you have the right of way. The benefits are an increase in salary, where the money goes further, and that I am a foreigner so I can ignore all the silly rules while I say I don't understand perfectly in their language. I learned that if you say you don't understand enough they give up and let you do things easier. I have said it so much from the last time that I lived there that I will say it perfectly in their language and they won't seem to get the connection that I might actually speak some of their language.

I will give you a hint as to which country it is. Donald Trump said he didn't like the country, but with the first meeting his administration had with them 12 of his patents in that country got approved the next day. It is a country where it is hard to get foreign patents and foreign companies did not used to be allowed 100% ownership of their company only 49%. It has the largest population in the world. It is below Russia. Their longest term enemy is Japan because with almost every war they have had with them they lost. (Yes a tiny island used to always beat up on this other country country.) They love America there, except the lower level members of the Red Guard. They are the largest holder of our debt. They are above Vietnam. The British used to have 100 year lease on their largest economic center. They build islands to claim territory. And finally, they held the 2008 Summer Olympics.

I hope the hints are too hard.

Wow! That's quite a transfer! A friend of mine has spent time in China and I will always remember her talking about what you can buy at the street markets. Good luck and I guess you won't be needing that Meijer card

Probably not, but I do wonder if I can use my Walmart card at Walmart there......

I did just stock up on a few new cards though; Ally, PenFed, Marvel, US Bank, BofA Flight rewards, and Wells Fargo Cash Wise. I figure it will be a long time before I can app again so why not go all out and get some nice 12 month 0% promos plus the initial spend.
