I called their backdoor number and got approved for $9000!!!
I am super happy!!! I never thought I will get a Sapphire in 13 month. Is $9000 a standard starting limit ? Should I ask for more ?

Congrats on getting approved. Not a bad starting limit either. Hope you enjoy the card.

That's huge! Thanks I didn't know it. I called them back and they told me it will take close to 2 weeks. I told them I need it in 2 days. They send it with express mail max 2 business days. I can't tell you how pumped  I am. Thanks again for everybody!!

Very nice, congrats! Now make sure you understand how UR points work with the CSP. Do some digging on this site, lots of pro tips about how to get good value out of it

9K is a good limit. I've seen as low as 5K and as high as 12K

Congratulations!!! Very nice starting limit!! You were thinking $5000 and got $9000. Take care of it. Pay on time. Keep utilization low and more good cards and even higher credit limits are yours for the taking!!

Thanks ! When you say low do you mean 30%?

Yes, don't let something more than 30% report to the bureaus. If you go past it, pay it off before the statement ends. Best to let 10% report at the end of statement. Hopefully you can PIF like that!
