Amazon Store Card CLI

[Anonymous]

After agressively paying down my card balances and getting approved for Gettington account for $400, an Ikea Visa for $1500, and a CLI on my Express Card from $250 to $750 from hitting the luv button, I was thinking about what was next to get from low 600's to high 600's.

CK said to pay down my amazon card $140 from 1340/1380 which seems obvious, but it said it would bump TU to 660. I don't know if I believe that, but it's my last balance so I figured I would give it a shot. Paid and thought, why not hit the luv button? I read that it was a SP. BOOM! Instant CLI to $2900! Granted I have had this card since 2011ish before my credit troubles and they had reduced it once from $2500 down to $1380 in 2014 but it still feels really good!

I think in about 6 months I will be looking for a major and then closing down one of my small cap one's.

I had a feeling that I could get even more out of this as I only asked for an increase to $2500 and they gave me $2900, so I hit the button again and asked for $4000 and was again auto-approved! WOWOWOW. Far and away highest CL since my troubles in 2013 and 2014. Super stoked.

Congrats to the OP.

Question that may fit in this thread vs being a separate thread. I just got my Amazon Store Card within the past two weeks. I have a thin profile, and I'm actually surprised I got the unsecured version. I expected the secured card, but got approved for $1,500.

When am I able to request a CLI and, how long before I'm actually likely to be approved for it? I assume I'd need to wait at least a few statements? Thanks!

Im in the same boat as you with the new card, however from what I have gathered from here it looks promising to get a CLI after the third statement cut and your TU score being above 670.
