CLI Two Months in a Row on a Comenity Card (Ulta)

I'm pretty darned amazed to have received my second CLI from Comenity in two months on my Ulta card. Started at $400, they gave me another $250 last month (after the 6th statement cut). I just tried again after this statement cut and they gave me another $500 for a total of $1150! Small potatoes in the rest of the credit world but I'm pretty happy with this. I've been trying to get my Meijer card to grow and feel like I'm milking for pennies there. I guess the universe thinks I need makeup more than food.

Haha no I'm sure they know you need food more than makeup lol. Congratulations! The good news is it is going up. Have faith- I have been there too- on time payments and time to let them grow is the only key I've used. My Meijer is only at $2,000 but I'm fine with that. I used to shop there regularly but now I strictly shop at another store for groceries so the Meijer card is definitely not in my wallet like it used to be. I used to really enjoy the 20% off on general merchandise though but it's been months since I've stepped foot in Meijer. Keep up the good work! Little growth is better than no growth- the banks gave you a shot so keep growing ❤️

I've pretty much relegated that card to the occasional gas purchase. The 10 cents off a gallon works out to be around 4.5%, which is decent. Unfortuneately, the three closest stores are all about  45 minutes to an hour away so unless I'm passing through or buying groceries, I don't get to take advantage of that as often as I'd like. I started using my Capital One card for the groceries. Meijer's reward of $10 for every $750 isn't much of a carrot!

Yay!! That's awesome!! Congrats on the increases!

I love monthly increases. The only card that I have that does that is my Wayfair Card and it goes up 300$ every 31 days. Hope to keep that going 😁
