How common is Uber Visa auto cli?

NaaryalHead — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 23:05:02 GMT

I've had the card for over 8 months and pretty much every month I use up all of the $500 limit and then pay in full. Still no CLI in sight. How often does uber auto cli.
I've read about barclays being jealous often and curious if my new Citi card from 2 months ago turned them off?

Barclay is sometimes known to give an auto CLI around the 6-7 month mark, but you've already passed that, and that's the most common interval I have seen. If you really want a CLI I would just request it. Your other limits aren't huge, but Barclay should be willing to come up some if your account has 8 months of good history. If you're going to take the HP CLI I would aim high and see what happens.

You'll drive yourself crazy waiting for a CLI that an algorithim may or may not ever decide to give you. I always find it's easier to just request a CLI and be done with it.

I went 18 months and I never got one, I had to request it. I had 12k, I requested 35k and they gave me 25k.

I got my one and only Barclays auto on a now-discontinued card (Sallie Rewards) after 20 months.

So it's not limited to 6/12/18 months.

My Uber Visa will be 1 year tomorrow. No auto CLI yet.

Not common.

If you know your score is dramatically better than it was when you opened the card and you have at least 7 months of good spending on it, you might want to take the HP to check for CLI.

I have not received a CLI on my Uber have no issues with other cards.

That's worth a HP!!!

I just called them upon approval for a secondary review to bump from 11K to 25K w/o another pull. I doubt I'll be putting much spend on it. Mostly got it for the free $100 for the MSR.

I also got an Arrival 9 months after Sallie (11 before the auto CLI) with a higher SL. If Barclays still allows easy reallocations (get others to confirm) you might consider trying for a new card with a nice bonus (maybe wait for a limited-time offer) and moving some CL over.

*OP, your sig sums to 21k, not 18k. Best to clarify that to avoid any confusion in CL-focused threads!

Thanks for the wonderful replies guys.

Does asking for an hp CLI Count towards 5/24?

Also I think I have to wait this one out as my newest card will be just 3 months old in a week and that still sounds too new to risk a hp with Sir Barclays of Westeros

HP CLI does not count towards 5/24 since it does not create a new account. By contrast, I got my Delta Platinum with just a SP but since it's a new account it does count towards 5/24.

$500 is a tough line to manage. Take the HP.

Would you guys recommend I take that HP for CLI now (~3 months since my newest account) or wait a few months more?

I fear it'll be a tiny CLI if I'm impatient as the $500 CL with the Uber visa is there for a reason; I think I waited about 4 months since my newest card at the time and Barclays barely let me in caz of that.

Maybe just leave things alone for a bit. Maybe you'll get an auto CLI, and it sounds like you want your inquiries and new accounts to cool off.

I'm not sure how you value TY points or what BofA categories you like, but your four larger CLs collectively offer pretty nice rewards. You might not be bothered by the small amount of marginal rewards you lose due to a low-CL Uber card.

Maybe wait until your 12th month unless you really need an increase.
