Approved for cli but have a question

I logged in to cap 1 for luv. Qs1 was offered a bump from 600-1850, 1250 increase. Take it or wait? I've heard some say wait it out for larger. Yay or nay? Thanks in advance.

I'd take it, cause things happen and it could always go the other way too.

Re: Approved for cli but have a question

I think the 'wait' is for small CLI...like a couple hundred dollars. You've just tripled your credit limit. I think that's pretty good.

NFCU: $25,000; PenFed Power Cash Rewards: $3,500; PenFed Gold: $2,500; Capital One: $2,300; Nordstrom Visa: $2,000; Credit One: $1,250
Amazon: 800; Kohls: $1,500

Thanks, j figured the same thing about the 3 x increase. Even though not as high as I wanted, still pretty good. If I get another 3x next time then I'll be happy. 6 more months lol.

Re: Approved for cli but have a question

I definitely think you did the right thing. I received one small ( 1k ) CLI on my QS after about 6mos, 15k to 16k ( I'm not complaining about my 15k SL!!! ). I have had my Spark Business card with them for 11 years and have never been granted a CLI (no missed payments and always PIF), but I don't put much spend on it because I have better rewards cards. The sole reason given for CLI denial is that I "do not use enough of current credit limit." So, in my experience, Cap One likes to see heavy usage.
