Re: BofA CLI??

You can attempt at 4 months. Is there a button showing on your account that will let you request? 

 

They will ask how much you want when you request.

OP, for best results try at 6+ months.  BOA likes to see some history with the card so continue with the positive usage/PIF (rinse & repeat).  If you were only given a marginal SL, then that signals the most they felt comfortable with lending you at the time.

Re: BofA CLI??

They do allow you to enter the amount you would like to request. It's a HP on TU for the request.

 

if I were you, I'd call the back door and do it over the phone. Tell them to review your account and look

 

at your usage and payment history and I would request $15k.

 

my travel rewards went from $2k to $15k with it just being 1 month old.

Re: BofA CLI??

Scoreorbescored do you think they will counter a good number? My highest card is $2250 being a WF Visa.

Re: BofA CLI??

TU as of last week is 691 and utl is high at 67%, I just made 2 payments so that should go down to 32% and when I do my taxes I'm lowering that to 10% and BofA is 22/500 , Wells Fargo is 819/2250, Capital One is 0/300, Capital One / Saks is at $650/2000? I think?? And discover I lowered to 100/750
