Since the year is almost over and I've decided to garden HARD next year (hard meaning no CLI requests or apps)... I figured I'd stab the button on my lowest limit card.
Original limit: $1,500
CLI: $1,500
New limit: $3,000
Not a huge increase, but I don't need a lot on this card anyway. I had CLIs available on my other, higher-limit Chase cards and could have picked one of those and maybe gotten more, but... I really don't need it.
Although the verbiage on the CLI page said (paraphrased) "to avoid delays, unfreeze your reports" I didn't have to. I got the CLI with all 3 frozen. Maybe I could have gotten more if they weren't, I don't know. I don't know why some people have to unfreeze and some don't.
So, my final CLI for the year is complete. My TCL was, IIRC, $23,300 at the start of the year. Now it's $51,500. Almost double. (*edit* can't do math today apparently!). Fico 8s are in the 800s.
Happy new year!
