Fidelity/Elan - Email Exclusive offer for CLI

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Long time since I have posted. I received a few weeks back an email from Elan/Fidelity called "Exclusive Offer: Increase your Credit Line - Request Now"

 

It states I'm eligble for up to a $2k increase. My question is does anyone have experience with this email. It's certainly targeted to me, but I am not going to waste a hard pull for a measly $2k CLI. I have read all the fine print etc. and not sure if it's a hard pull? The fine print states the following: So obviously, always a possibility of a hard pull, but can anyone confirm if they have recieved this email and it turned out to be a soft pull.

 

Thank you!

If it's been at least 6 months since your last CLI request,  it's likely a SP. None of my Elan CLI requests have ever been a HP.

 

I have heard they will likely HP if you request a CLI less than 6 months apart or less than 6 months after opening the account.

I'm curious about this question. I've had my Fidelity card for longer than six months and have never requested a CLI. If I go to the "Credit Limit Increase" page, though, it definitely has HP language. Yet it seems everyone is saying that Fidelity/Elan is usually SP?

No, it's not always SP. It can be, but HP is possible, too. 

HP language is always present when requesting CLI, but again, it may result in either.
