Grats on the auto luv Smiley Happy

 

It is not likely that this CLI was related to the charges you made. If you are going to try such a strategy I would only do it with items that I would want to receive in case the charges actually go through. Some cards you can spend above the stated CL.

Hello all, I've had my Chase Freedom for about a year and 6 months with my Freedom Unlimited. However, I looked at my account today and noticed my credit line on the Unlimited went from $3700 -> $7200 automatically. When i called them today, they said my account automatically received the upgrade without any request from me. I don't know if it's related or not but i tried to put two charges a couple days ago that would have used up 2x the limit i originally had on my unlimited. Compared to my other credit cards, the limits on my freedom cards were low but now they're about in line with what I was hoping for. Is it a strategy to go over your credit limit to force a CLI from banks?


I don't know if it's a strategy, I know I wouldn't have the nerve to try it.

 

But maybe you're onto something Smiley Happy

It's not something I would recommend to everyone, but, yes, I find that maxing out my card usually results in a CLI.  Credit card companies like to see spend and large/full payments, so if you show you can afford your spending, they are happy to give you more credit.
