BOA Limit Recon?

Is it possible for them to reconsider the initial limit without requesting a new credit report? I was approved on the 17th for a toy limit of $1,500 on BBR card and I think it's a complete joke. I called them and they said nothing they can do without a new credit report. Anyone have any experiance with this? Thanks.

Similar to Chase as far as initial SL reconsiderations go.  They will need another HP on TU to review for CLI - even if you were just freshly approved (CR used for approval was likely EX).  $1,500 a "toy" CL?  I can count on several people on this board who would love to get their foot in the door with that CL to establish a relationship with BOA.  So, bottom line, if you think $1,500 is a joke and you want the CLI? Take the HP.

A lot of people on here would considered $1,500 a decent SL. Lol. But anyway, yea if you think it's worth it, take an HP for a better limit.

I would highly suggest that you wait 6 months and ask for a CLI. They felt confortable with the $1500 they gave you and they wnat to see how you handle it. They like to see good chunk payments or PIF if possible. I would think that if you applied for a CLI now they would HP your TU and turn you down.
