Firestone/CFNA Auto CLI

Anonymous — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 18:34:25 GMT

I hvae had the card for awhile. I got the 6th statement in Sept. I used the card to put tires on both of our vehicles and paid the difference thus maxing out the card. Didnt care about Utilization as wasnt apping for anything so wanted to put in heavy usage. Well I paid the balance off before the 6th statement as to avoid the finance charges. My starting credit limit was $1000. My 6th statement showed $1000 as well but when I logged on yesterday it now shows $1200. So a $200 auto CLI. Dont know if its because its 6 months old or due to the heavy usage as I just put $800 more dollars on it the other day to have some work done. But either heavy usage or the 6 months got me an auto CLI.

Good stuff. Have a 1200 limit currently with alot of usage. Currently getting util down on other cards and at 50% util for this card. I like it.

It worked like that for me, too. I had a $1600 CL, and when I paid off a charge of about $800 right before the six month interest free was up, I got a $200 CLI.

Just logged into my account and noticed a $400 CLI. Went from $1200 to $1600. I've had the account 6 months now with little usage. Only put $386 on the card so far.

Same here. Just logged in after i saw this thread and noticed i went from 1000 to 1200. Only used the card once. I just passed my 6 month mark as well so that must be the trigger

My Old Limit was $1200 I opened this card back in January. Does anyone know if this will result in a hard if I submit this?

So THAT'S what that looks like! Nice little increase. Still waiting for my love button to show up. I got mine in late April so I've got a little ways to go I think. I've heard a lot of people say they get an auto increase around 5-6 months, given that they took advantage of the 6 months no interest, which I did. I'm still suck on this screen.

Once you've had the card approx 6 months you get the luv "box/button". You can get monthly $200 CLI (at least) from then on. I've got higher CLI's but typically they are $200. And I do it every month. It's a soft pull everytime.

ok sweet good to know. I got so confident with that cli I hit the luv button on my walmart credit card went from $950 to $1650 amazon store card from $500 to $750 and then I applied for a CLI on my platinum visa at my local cu that Ive had for 2 years and they denied me saying I already have too many revolving accounts open and too many inquiries. Wasted a hard pull for no reason :/

Very nice info. Can't wait to see the button start showing up.

So after 6 months or so when the love button shows up and you accept the invite and are approved for a cli, the love button then shows up monthly after that or a few months later for the next cli? I'm still under 6 months but will have my 6 months interested free balance paid off before then, so was just wondering if its a monthly love button after the 6 first 6 months. Its a great card and my highest cl of $1400, love the interest free for 6 months, too!

I've had the card since 2009. After the luv button shows up after 6 monhts, I've had the luv button every month thereafter.

Does the card report credit limits? I heard at one point in the past they report cl as bal on card.

Re: Firestone/CFNA Auto CLI

DH and I both have cards and both have always reported or CL's. Only issue I have with them, is some months they are slow to update or don't update.

Careful with CFNA, though!

They report 30 day lates to the bureaus, as opposed to the majority of other banks which report 60s.

They got me in a lot of trouble during my unemployemnt year.

Yes, they report the limit. If you apply online, make sure you go in store and make a purchase, and have them verify your ID. If you don't do that, they may not report your limit.
