My first card was an AT&amp;T Universal Card with an initial limit of $700. &nbsp;Every couple of months I'd hit the "credit line increase" button (or as I say "shake the money tree) and they'd just increase my limit, no filling out forms, nuttin. &nbsp;In two years, my CL increases were $700-$1200-$2200-$3100-$5000-$6500-$8100. &nbsp;Similarly on a BankOne card, my initial CL was $5k, only to be raised to $13k w/o me even asking, and in just a few short months of opening the account!</P> Tue, 13 Sep 2011 19:36:32 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/The-Good-quot-ol-Days/m-p/1030100#M289831 n777ua 2011-09-13T19:36:32Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/The-Good-quot-ol-Days/m-p/1030116#M289836 <P>Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the Good Ol' Days!!!!!!!!!! <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://ficoforums.myfico.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Before I destroyed my credit...........
