Apple Card CLI Approval (Finally!!)

So I got the card back in March and tried asking for a CLI after heavy speading and PIF for 90 days. I was denied at my 91 day mark due to "One or more of your recent Apple Card payments has failed" which was really annoying because I accidently used my savings account instead of checkings account for a payment and my bank reversed the payment (depsite having funds available) and I continued to get denied for CLI and eventually my utilization started getting a little out of control and my FICO dropped so it's been a struggle..

 

But after paying down all my balances and getting my utilization under control I finally got instant approval for CLI!

Starting CLI: $1250

New CL: $3250 

 

Ι was expecting a denial but was shocked to finally be approved!

 

Some DPs incase anyone is wondering:

  • I was CR at the time of this request was reporting AZEO with the Apple Card just recently updating the $0 balance from December, but my Discover Card was reporting a 90% utilization..
  • TU FICO9 641 (although they didn't pull a score for the approval)
  • Last CLI request (which was denied) was ~30 days prior to this request
  • Averaged about $1500-$2000 of monthly spending on a $1250 limit over the past few months
  • Applied for CLI as soon as I got notification from credit monitoring that GS Apple Card updated balance (they usually report 2-3 weeks after closing statement date)

 

Good luck to everyone else that's trying to get a CLI (hoping to keep growing with this card!)

Excellent CLI, @bicboiOD, and really appreciate the data points! Smiley Very Happy

This is a great example of how heavier spending (1x or more of the current CL) on the Apple card often yields a very high CLI relative to the current limit!

Enjoy and good luck with further growth!
