Re: TARGET RED CARD

As it has been stated several times, there is no "formula" per say. 

Some got it by letting a small balance post. Some got it by updating their income regularly. Some have had to wait YEARS before they received the first increase, some got the first increase after a few months. It's kind of like Discover, except you can't request it. 

 

Sorry, I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.

Nope. Target is just one of those quirky accounts that do not have the CLI request functionality.

The most reliable way to get increases from my reading is to 

 

1) Use the card every month, even if its just a small purchase.

2) Let the statement cut and then pay that statement, don't pay before the statement cuts or the system won't recognize the use of the card.

3) Update income when making payments even if your income is exactly the same as it was last month.

 

Most people using that formula report CLIs every 3-6 months.

You're not paying before they report? 

 

If you are doing everything right then they just don't like something else. It happens unfortunately.

I always let a balance report on the statement, and then pif. Sometimes i have a high balance, sometimes a low balance. Was a oain last werk, between my normal shopping, didn't have the available credit to buy a new vacuum cleaner which i needed. Thankfully i was able to put it on my discover card and get the 5%.
