Wells Fargo how long before first CLI?

I have had my active cash with Wells Fargo for about 3 months now and am wanting to increase the limit since i have found myself using the card quite a bit. Does anyone know how soon is too soon with Wells? Does card type matter when requesting a CLI in specific time frames?  Is there a minimum amount of time before you can get a approved CLI request with Wells Fargo? If anyone has any experience with getting approved or denied for a CLI request with wells on a new account please share any info you have.

 

I really appreciate any information about this and thank you very very much in advance Smiley Happy

Re: Wells Fargo how long before first CLI?

Mileage always varies but I have two cards with them. I got the platinum in 2017 and didn't get an increase until 2020 (for $500), which I had to call and request. I've had the Propel (now Autograph) since 2020 and I have not received an auto increase. All of my cards besides Wells Fargo and Capital One have grown. 

Hey look ma! I’m finally in the 700 club.


March 2020 - (EX) 730 (EQ) 707 (TU) 702

January 2023 - (EX) 772 (EQ) 789 (TU) 789

Re: Wells Fargo how long before first CLI?

Yeah from what I have read auto increases are rare with Capital One and Wells Fargo but a lot of success happens with CLI requests with both from what I have read and personal experience with Capital one even though they can be a strange beast at times when it comes to limit increases Smiley Happy. I found one post where someone got a limit increase with Wells after just 1 month by request.

 

Found another post where someone requested one after just 3 months and got approved so I was hoping to find some more info on this.

 

Either way in the end ill end up calling and asking and ill post all my dps on the matter Smiley Happy. Just wanted to see if it is rare to get one before 6 months or if it's actually common if you just call and ask.
