Possible to make BOA CLI request without having the hyperlink present?

Hello all,

 

Question for the knowledgable in this area

 

I just wasted a pull on the premium rewards card Smiley Mad I should have known better was at 10/12 or something like that. So now wanting to utilize the pull for not another credit product but a cli on my cash rewards but I don't have the blue hyperlink present.

 

Would it be possible to call into customer service and make the request? I do know the pull is good for 30 days.

Re: Possible to make BOA CLI request without having the hyperlink present?

Yes. People have called in and been successful requesting a CLI without having the 'request a credit limit increase' hyperlink showing online.

 

I can't predict the likelihood of success, but it is > 0.

Re: Possible to make BOA CLI request without having the hyperlink present?

No go on the reconsideration.  Too many recent accounts opened as expected. This is even with assests and a decent length in relationship with them. (Another dp to use) But I will contact cs regarding a incresse. Might as well try to get something out of it lol!

Agree - you've already taken the hit so you have nothing to lose other than the time spent on the phone.

Got 5-7 business day snail mail for that  cli request. I know this could go either way. Your thoughts @coldfusion

You really can't tell, as a BoA 5-7 business/7-10 calendar day response can also mean more eyeballs on the request and I know from experience that it doesn't mean a denial, ever since I reached about $85K in CL all my requests went to 7-10 day status and were ultimately approved.
