What Banks Give Soft Pull CLI

Have a citibank card and every 6 months I get a little increase in my limit via a soft pull or NO HARD PULL. 

What other banks out there do soft pulls for increases becasuse its nice to have a bank grow with you and not slam your report every time you request a credit increase.

These were yes for me. Dont know about BoA or Citi. AMEX theres a thread on 3xCLI in 61 days. Just be prepared to submit an IRS form 4506T for income verification. Someone will verify.

BOA and Citi also do SP Cli, however Citi never gave me one (no hp every time I asked) and with BOA you have to wait until the link (Luv button) shows in your account to try, but also a SP. I cannot say if the link isn't there and you call for a CLI if that will cost you a HP, never tried that.

Citi will evaluate with a SP.   They may come back with an increase and tell you that if you want a bigger CLI it will cost you a HP for the chance,  you can choose to proceed or nope out.

 

You can call BoA and request a CLI at any time, and like an online request it is a SP.  The "request a credit limit increase" link means that you meet the autobot's current criteria to deem you eligible to ask for a CLI, but it isn't a preapproval and there are data points that confirm they still grant CLIs when the cardholder calls in to request one when they have no link.
