FNBO Evergreen - CLI info?

Having a hard time finding any info on higher FNBO Evergreen limits and I'm curious what this card can grow into and how quick. From my research I've seen a comment stating wait 3-4 months and call in to see if they have a SP CLI option and not to go through the online portal. I've also seen some SL approvals of $20.6k. 

 

I was approved for $15k @ %14.99 about a month ago. I did a large BT and have already ran a good amount through the card and will get the $200 SUB. Curious when would be a good time to approach them for a CLI if it's a SP and what kind of limits this could grow to?

Re: FNBO Evergreen - CLI info?

Here is some DP's on SP CLI's.

I believe that 6 months is about the right time to ask?

I am not sure how high the cards can grow in CL?

 

This is a question that I have been pondering?

They offered it to me automatically at 6 months and I wasn't expecting it. It was a $1400 increase and I was happy with that.  You might have already seen my post about it a couple weeks ago but thought I would reply in case you didn't see it yet.

Re: FNBO Evergreen - CLI info?

To add some data points. I have had an FNBO card a little over a year ago (before the Evergreen was released) and I have recieved two auto cli, each being approximately 4-6 months apart.

 

 

 

I called yesterday to ask if I had any sp cli offers available on my account. The representative put me on hold for about 30 seconds, after which she said that I was not eligible because it hadn't been 4 months since my last. I asked when I would be eligible again and she said after the 21st of next month which would be exactly 4 calendar months since my last increase.

 

 

 

Always take what they say with a grain of salt because not all of them know for sure the correct answers but I would say they likely have a minimum of 4 months rule but that can sometimes turn into 5 or 6 depending on a few factors and each person's individual profile. That being said I hope this helps.

Thanks everyone, seems like calling in after 4 months would be a good start! My hope is with my BT balance and telling them I'd like to keep using it for my %2 they'll give me a decent little bump to help out with the UTIL on the card.

Re: FNBO Evergreen - CLI info?

I received an auto cli last week of $2,300 after having the card for 6 months.  

Have had heavy usage with the 0% interest promo.

I would guess 6 months to request a cli.

If you don't mind, what was your SL and what do you consider heavy usage?

Good questions and also I'm assuming you carried a balance if you were using the %0?

You're eligible for your first CLI at six months. Then, call in every four months after to see if there are any SP CLI available.

If you were asking this of me, I haven't carried a balance on the card yet. I have three other cards (2 biz, 1 personal) that have 0% for the next year. I will likely carry a balance on one of those biz cards for a few months. I'm typically a PIF guy, so this, while financially feasible, hurts my brain a bit.
