So as I'm sure everyone on the planet knows about FTX/BlockFi by now. While accounts are currently "suspended" I thought to myself can I make up the 15k elsewhere. I toyed around with the Walgreens Mastercard preapproval which has consistently shown 6k. I didn't bite on this though while I'm holding out for at least 10k out the gate. That led me to some reliably safe and trusty SP providers and I hit pay dirt.
KeyBank Key2More Rewards $20,500 to $24,500
KeyBank Cash Rewards $16,000 to $18,500
KeyBank Lattitude $22,500 to $26,500
Discover (2nd card) $4,500 to $7,000 (thanks Plastiq)
Union Bank $14,000 to $17,000
Overall a net gain of $1,000 with the loss of BlockFi. I have one more KeyBank card to hit for a SP request on Friday. This is also a Key2More Rewards currently at $19,500 so hopefully they show me that 4k love on this one. As you can see KeyBank has been very good to me over the years. I also have a LOC with them at $28,500. That's just amazing considering my very first card with them was something like $2,500. I have a ton of new accounts this year and too many to count within the past 24 months. I have anywhere between 15 - 17 inq's on each bureau. I've been semi gardening for the last 4 months (no inq's/no applications). That's a huge feat for me. I guess I have finally got to the point where I have 39K in debt between a car and small personal loan and no credit card debt. I do rotate my cards to let some balances hit my reports and pay in full each month. I've NEVER been in this good of shape where I can pass up applications with the understanding that I can always apply later with better odds. In the past it has always been (for me) playing the shell game with my bureas (submitting applications dependent upon what was reporting at that time). I still have 2 small strikes against me which is inq's and AAoA which is between 4.8 and 5.2 years. They are not affecting me drastically but they are there. This has been 10 years in the making. Didn't even realize that 2022 is my 10 year anniversary from when I began my credit rebuild in 2012. When I started I had a credit score of 576 and had filed bankruptcy in 1993 and again in 2003 (as such, I will never stand in judgment of anyone). It was bad too because in 2013 I was nervous. Even though I was nowhere near needing to file BK then, I was paranoid because I had filed twice before 10 years apart. Fast forward just two years ago, I had about 50k (yes you read that right) in credit card debt along with $165,000 in student loan debt. Both haave been wiped out and my scores have definitely taken notice. One of the best things in these past 10 years was finding this board. I have learned so much here whether it be what to do or what not to do. This place has something for everyone. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have much to be thankful for.

Thanks. You can't request a SP CLI with Union Bank. I just know they are SP's since I've gotten CLI's with my bureaus locked. I initially started out with a 7k limit and over the years it's climbed. Union used to do CLI's (review at your request) every 6 months. Now they say it is once a year which may be out the window anyway since the merger with US Bank has been approved. I've grown from 7k to 17k through request for CLI's without ever having a HP done.
I've just called them up and asked for a CLI and they'll go through the spill but it's never been a HP. I know once US Bank is in control, I won't see another CLI.

Yes that's what I did like clockwork 
Mine have alwasy been a SP. My reports stay on ice.

Oh you want to call them and ask for a CLI now then. Put your reports on ice because I can't say they won't do a HP if they are thawed.
Congrats on your CLI's
