Hi Y'all,
Good week of CLIs. Biggest of all is my bucketed Cap1 quicksilver. Started as a $300 secured card during the rebuild, my score was 550 when I app'd and I assumed the frequent requests for CLI would continue forever. My guess as to why they gave me the $500 to $1500 increase is because I let most of my cards report a balance this month. Keep reading that Cap1 likes balances so this might be a DP in that camp... Either way. Small increase, but an increase none the less.
Also, got a much self-coveted Target card increase. Again got this card with a low score and assumed no love would come my way. I've become obsessed with making this store card a MC and have been updating income and allowing balances to post every month for the last year. Had a higher than normal amount post on my statement (about 70%) and they doubled my limit. Not sure how to proceed to milk these increases to a $5k MC, but my score and history give me hope.
Other minor successes include an Amex Biz card 3x at 61 days, Kohl’s 1x, Express 1k, and Nordstrom 3k. My SO got an unsolicited CIC increase of 5.1k on an 8k card as well. Been a good month in the dashoops household. Cheers!
