Hey guys,
I've been lurking around the forums for about a year now but this is my first time posting. I received a Cap1 Platinum Mastercard 18mos ago with a $500 CL. After 3 mos it was automatically increased to $750 (credit builder prog) but never increased again. Last month two baddies aged off so I decided to try the luv button. I fully expected to be turned down; to my shock, I was approved for a 3K limit increase!! I charge approx $50-100 per month and PIF every time.
If anyone is wondering what score bump I received: Transunion 55, Experian 69, Equifax 65
Congrats and welcome to the forums!

What's funny is my $1500 card was bumped from $1000 after 6 months... and we are now 6 months later and I was denied a CLI for not enough card usage... and I've done the same $100 a month and PIF.
I contacted them via Facebook to voice my displeasure and was told I'll be contacted in a few days after a manual review. It's funny how I get declined by CapOne for responsible card usage and do the same thing with Barclay and get a $1000 increase with a letter thanking me for my responsible card usage.
CONGRATS on your Capital One luv button CLI!!! ![]()
Thanks everyone! My scores increased as follows: TU 649-704, EX 678-747, and EQ 672-73

That's really odd because I have never charged more than $100 and sometimes go a month or two without using it at all. Their system seems so arbitrary. Good luck on the manual review ![]()
Congrats! Does this mean that your no longer on the credit steps prigam?
