Doubled Dipped at Lowes

From my previous thread. I opened my Lowe's store card back on 7/2 and was approved for $700. From all the posts here, I saw that GE/Synchrony was great with increases. I hit the luv button back on  11/4 and received an increase to $1200. For what we want to do in the home that is not enough. I never have any good luck with Credit Solutions so I was apprehensive on calling, but I'm glad I did during my lunch break. I asked for $10k and after about 2 minutes on hold was approved for the full $10k. Decided to call back today and request another $5k, came back and countered with $12k. The only luck I've ever had and it was worth it. Hard to believe just a year ago I was in the 500's and only had 2 subprime cards and a credit profile that was in disarray.

 

From $700 to $1200

From $1200 to $10,000

From $10,000 to $12,000

 

All in two days time. It really is a marathon and it will pay off if you do what you need to do. Just wanted to thank everyone here for their advice and their own experiences.
