Re: Credit Limit Increase

Im sorry OP can't find the question room is spinning

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Credit Limit Increase

I know that opening a new credit card  will hurt my FICO in the short-run, but will raising my credit limit on an existing credit card have the same effect?

If I request the credit limit increase will the hard pull from BOA Hurt me? If so by how much.

don't bother getting a HP just app for another card, pick up a nice sign up bonus while your at it, and get a better card than Bank of America everything they have is subpar to almost anything Chase or Amex offers. Your scores look fine you should be able to get those instead.

Re: Credit Limit Increase

I currently have a Capitol one rewards card at 10% and a BOA 1-2-3 rewards card at 10% also. I have no car payments or mortage payments. Will it affect my score if I apply for a new card? My avg account age is about 2 years.
