UPDATE: Approved - BofA CLI - 90 days...91? Midnight?

[Anonymous]

Hey all, 

So I got a CLI on my bank of america cash rewards on 8/18/2019 from $500 -> $2300. Tomorrow marks 90 days from my last CLI or maybe today if today is counted in the calculation?

I may be overthinking this, but do you all include the date of the last increase? Or the date of the new request in your calculations? Both? Should I try at midnight??? 

***

Update: I was too early lol. Denied initially, but subsequently approved via luv button for +$4k ($2300 -> $6300). Looks like 91 days it is.

As a habit, I always wait 2-3 days past. just to be on the safe side. It's a hard rule i put in place for myself.

I am usually the same way but this one snuck up on me so I am itching to pull the trigger lol. So when you calculate 2-3 days past 90 do you count day 1 as the day of the last increase? And the day of earliest eligibility for a new request as day 90?

I do not have a timer set per se, I just fly by the seat of my pants. And when in doubt, I call customer service and ask

"when am I eligible?" I personally think it's the safest route. JMHO

I once asked to early on a certain lender, and it messed Me up.

So I proceed with more caution, unless it is Synch or Disco. then I just hit the buttons.

hope it makes some sense, sorry I am pretty tired.

2-3 Days past. Sometimes a week.

With BoA, the Link may show up in 90 days but, you may not get one until you hit 6 mo from last CLI.

As always YMMV!

Good Luck!

Welp... either I jumped the gun or was denied. Did it over the phone, shot high, CSR gave a 5-7 day message.

Is it possible that because it’s the weekend that it could still be approved?

Also, if denied do I need to wait another 90 days?

BoA does manual reviews during weekday business hours so yes it's still possible for you to get an approval or a counteroffer.

BoA does a lot of internal updating as part of their early morning batch processing.  One's account status can be different at 12:01 AM than at 5AM Eastern.

Did you first log in and check if you had a "request a credit limit increase" hyperlink showing for the account before you called in?  That's the most definitive sign that they consider you eligible to request (not necessarily get) a CLI.

Ok cool! That’s comforting to here. I had the request CLI button there for nearly a month but I wanted to call and make sure. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get some good news.

That's good.  Having the luv button doesn't to eligiblity to get a CLI, but it does mean that they consider you eligible to apply.

Eligibility is not tied to any specific generic cycle e.g. every 90 days either.  There are considerations in play specific to each account holder.

Don't be disappointed if you don't hear anything either tomorrow, a review can sometimes take a few days to be performed so no news isn't necessarily bad news.
