Re: I hate my Lowes card

I wouldn't worry.  If your score was on the low side, wait a bit and ask credit solutions for a cli.  I would ask for 35k.  I was too chicken since the lady on the phone asked me if that was 2.5k or 25k!  Freaked me out and I only asked for the 25k.  Make sure you have another 1/2 cards with high limits. It helps.

Re: I hate my Lowes card

I personally did not have any other cards with high limits at the time. Lowe's was my first high credit limit. My other limits were 3k. that they could see reporting. That day I also got 5500, 20k, 10k, 5k (CLI) on other apps/cards. It was a great day.

Re: I hate my Lowes card

I have found them to new account sensitive (along with others). Have requested a CLI twice since a spree of 4 cards and CLOC in December and January and denied on all methods (luv button, chat, and Credit Solutions) for new accounts and/or usage. Have plenty of credit and scores in the 800s, so perhaps less of an issue for me. Going to wait until the new stuff is 6 months old and try again.

Score: EQ(809) EX(819) TU(800)
INQs: EQ(7) EX(16) TU(8)
Last INQ: 13 Jul 23

Total Credit Limit - $2.0M

I hit the no-luv button


That is what is wrong. Luv button doesn't work on any of my Synch accounts. Call CS. You should get atleast 8k. Ask for 25k.

Re: I hate my Lowes card

I called Credit Solutions today and asked for $25k. After about 30 seconds he came back and said sorry I can not increase your limit to $25k. The best I can do is $12k. That will work. Just wanted enough to put new appliances on to get the 5% discount.

Congrats Vortexeng! I use it for the financing promo instead of the 5%. Watch for deals you can sometimes do a 10% off purchase and combine the financing. Change of address mailers will sometimes have a coupon in them. Lol. I just goto my post office n grab them.
