Ok, so I should be in garden mode, but I fell off again in order to get a CLI for my Bestbuy visa card. I started off with a 1k credit limit, after applying in May 2016. I've used it a lot this year, paying off in full before the statement closes. Last night I decided to ask for a CLI, I wanted to have a buffer when purchasing some things this Christmas. I requested an additional 3k and I received an approval immediately (after reading that some people got denied, I was surprised). I then received an email stating the following:
After 15 minutes, I decided to ask for a recon, and requested that another 2k to set me at 6k. Though I wanted to ask for more I did not want to be greedy so I settled for that. Again I was told that I was approved. So now I have a total CLI of 6k for my Bestbuy card, and I feel at ease now that I don't have to pay it every time I need to purchase something. Just to note, I had a balance on the card at the time of request.

Back into the garden I go, I do not need anything else (well I said that the last time, but I am for real this time). Thank you guys again for the tips. This year has been great to me and I am making sure to stay on the straight and narrow.
Nice Congrats!!!!!
Congrats thats a good instant increase!
It's very common for Citi to counter CLI if they are approving a certain amount... I always suggest shooting for the moon and asking for like $25k
