Discover Cli yet again

Well I got this card one year ago next week with a 10k limit. I pulled up my spend analyzer and have put 17k thru the card number the last 11 months. Hit the button again and have now received my 7th Cli in one year bringing me to 37,000. That's just insane I'm gonna keep goin til then eventually tell me no the last few increases have been 60+ days I've noticed verses every month earlier but I'll take it.

Congrats on the increases!  10K is a good startng line considering they put me at $4500.  I'm right there with you though at $36K a year later.  I found more growth with less spend though than your $1.5K/mo avg.  I switched it up to every other Month as well and jumped from the $3-4K bucket to the $6K and waiting to see what they do on my next one 12/1.

Britt -

 

So, with a 1500 limit if it were me I would set a mental limit of 10% of that which would be $150.  Showing that you can use it and manage it at about that level should yield better results when asking for a CLI on the account.  This is your only account in your name I'm gathering from what you've posted?  The AU accounts I would suspect should be putting your score higher than 630 though.  How does the spending look on those accounts?  They may be hurting more than helping if the card owner is carrying large balances.  

 

Just in general it's best to keep your spending in the view of the creditor as being managed and not running it up and paying it off.  Several others around here have done the same and yielded paltry $500 increases.  Personally I've found that reducing my CLI attempts to every other month also shifted the CLI amount into a higher gear from $3-4K to $6K on the last one I just got on 10/1.
