Walmart/GEMB showing more love

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:32:03 GMT

I log in to check to see if this months FICO score is available and I noticed my limit has changed from 300 to 700 bucks. My fourth statement hasn't been cut yet either. It doesn't take much to excite me lol.

They approved me instantly online back at the end of september last year and I had just gotten my first credit card at the end of july so I only had 2 months history.

After I saw the increase I completely forgot to check it. But it isnt on yet so I can wait now.

How long have you had the card?

More than a year...opened it in December of 2010.

If you havent had a CLI for a while try calling the 800 number on back of the card and request it that way. I've heard of people having success doing that recently. I believe its a SP also.

Did that four days ago.

Yes, it is only a SP, but the answer is still no.

I can confirm that automatic CLI's from Walmart are SP's. I've gotten an increases from $600 to $1000 then from $1000 to $1200 and then to $1800 all within about 8 months by steadily paying down my balance with very light use. Now they're offering me the Walmart Discover card - not sure if I'll take them up on their offer yet since this is my second oldest card and switching it closes the old account.

Nice increases. Sucks that they close the account to PC but I'll gladly take the discover. IIRC closing the account doesnt hurt age but you will surely take a hit for the new account.

tcbofade:

GEMB is a weird character. I've been denied the Lowe's card but given an increase with this acct. Even Home Depot (backed by Citi bank) extended credit to me and lowe's wont budge.

Since they're showing so much love, I wonder if I should go ahead and apply now.
