Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to share an experience with the Amazon Store Card. I recently have just come out of the roughs with my credit from the low 500's and now in the low 700's over the course of 3-4 years. I applied for the Amazon Store Card and Amazon Visa Signature. Approved for both.
I was dissapointed that my Amazon Store Card was a mere $700 CL. So, today, 45 days later, I called the CSR and asked to be transfered to a Credit Analyst. I explained the Analyst that I like to keep low UTL and with a $700 limit, my spending would not allow me to make larger purchases nor help my credit in the end result.
I should have asked for more, but I thought to go for the 3X. I asked for $2100 and a few minutes later, she approved me for exactly $2100. I should have gone for more, but hey...still good news!

OP - do you have the number you called? is it a backdoor number? I really want a new laptop but I only got approved for $700 had the card since mid May. Gonna try your strategy!
Do they do a HP?
