Uber Visa Barclay . Best course of action for CLI

Anonymous — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 15:45:31 GMT

So what's the best way to get auto CLI for Barclay . High usage, no usage?

I got a line of 1k. Thought it was gonna be higher but ended up being only 1k.

I would say to use it a LOT and pay it off frequently.

That ^^^^ for an auto CLI. Any requested CLI will be a HP on TU.

Barclays loves lots of usage! I'd go that route but like the above person mentioned, pay it off frequently. They don't like to see high utilization either.

You can also check out the Barclaycard soft pull CLI thread if you've had the card a while.

I got a 3x auto cli (1000 to 3000) about 9 months in and with about 4K spent on the card, never carried a balance, and I always pay in full. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tips. I always PiF. So I'll just use it up and pay it off. I'll also check the sp thread.

I also had a 3x auto CLI from Barclays ($3k to $9k) after 9 months of use. Fair amount of use and always PIF, often before the statement cut.

High usage and large payments did it for me. I got an auto increase of about 5k from them doing this. I didn't even have the card for 6 months.

I'm kind of in the same boat as @Nadoxq8 $500 SL on 9/1/2018, I've used it for all my dining purchases, phone bill auto pay, met the sign up bonus, always pay it off in full.. when I tried for a CLI just get the need to establish a relationship with us message

It seems to me that Barclay is stingy with CLI. I first had an Apple Rewards card and they refused to give me a CLI with a SP so I bit the bullet and got a HP on TU for a $1k increase from $2500 to $3500 after about a year.

I was orignally denied for the Uber card but I called the backdoor and got approved. They asked if I wanted to move some of my Apple Rewards CL to the Uber card and I said well screw it and just move all of it to the Uber card and close the Apple account. I still received just a $3500 limit on the Uber card. I do use this card quit often due to the 4% and PIF each month. I'm keeping my fingers croseed for an auto CLI to at least 2x my current limit after 6-9 months.

Barclay was always stingy with HP CLI's for me as well. I eventually just did a "Chase" CLI. I applied for another card and combined limits. That was the easy way for me to increase the limit substantially vs doing $1k and $2k CLI's.

I rarely charged anything on my Uber card other than restaurants and they gave me an auto CLI to $9k at some random point last year. Just use your card however it benefits you and let them do whatever they do whenever they do it.
