Amazon Store Card CLI!

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!
