Wow, it's been quite the week.
Officially out of the 600's on TU (went from 699 to 705) this week! My first 700 score in 12 years! TU was in the high 400's 16 months ago!
Today, after seeing a post last night about BoA now doing SP for CLI, I decided to pull the trigger. I had tried in December when my 99/500 secured card graduated. I was declined for the cli. The credit limit increase link was still on my online account, so I requested $3,000 and they countered with $1,600. I accepted, why not, from $500 to $1,600.
Yesterday was my 60 days with my $1,300 SL on my Amex SPG. I have 3 other Amex Cards, but all three are $1,000 (I also have the PRG with NPSL and a $10K Pay over time), so I decided to try my luck at a 3x cli on my SPG and was approved for 2x for an increase of $1,300, again, I accepted. Now it's $2,600.
I tried Disco and declined
I tried Cap 1 QS1 which is imposible and got 2-3 day notice
Then I tried my Synchrony TJX Rewards Mastercard which had a SL of $1,900. I asked for a new limit of $3,000 and instant approval. After reading another post from someone who did a double dip Synchrony cli request, I went back and tried for $5,000 and was denied, and now I am hoping on that one they didn't HP, I am pretty sure the first one was SP.
Now, that I was approved for the 2X cli on my SPG with Amex, I figured if I requested one of the other cards that I am pre-approved for on their site, that they would likely give me a limit of at least $2,600, so I decided to pull the trigger on the Everyday with the 0% on balance transfer and purchases for 15 months plus 10,000 points after the first $1,000 spend in 3 months. I may want to use the balance transfer as I am going to carry a small balance this month for the first time even thought I am below 1% Util. So thought this one would be good for me. And, I need new tires so I will use this card to do that and get my $1,000 spend in. So, I pulled the trigger and boom, instant approval with a $5K SL, my highest with Amex!
That's $8,500 in new credit and cli with all SP and I surpassed the $50K Total over all credit (think I'm now at $56K)!
