Got a CLI from Chase! - 4 months from account opening

I called Chase today about asking for a CLI, currently sitting at $4k on my United MileagePlus card.  I said I wanted $8k and after "soft" pull (shows only as soft - so far) and discussing the same items they originally denied me for when I first got the account, the nice lady approved me for $8k.  I asked her if I should have asked for more, and she said yes :-(.  But I am still happy that I got it!!  Woohoo for double miles on my family's trip to New Zealand in a few months.

Re: Got a CLI from Chase! - 4 months from account opening

Congrats on CLI!!!!!!!!!!!!

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?

How did you get them to do a soft pull? I thought it was always a hard pull for customer iniated CLI requests?

Can't beat that lol. I wonder if the "shoot for the moon" approach would end with them just saying "Well, we can't give you 20k, but heres 8k.

I did not ask anything about the pull, they just stated that they review the credit file, usage, and Chase history in determing a CLI.  I said I was fine with that.  I mention soft pull because that is what is showing on my annual credit report from EQ from Chase with today's date 5 hours after the CLI.  A hard pull as not shown up yet,  I would expect one, and I will be monitoring that over the next couple of days. (unless they pulled TU).
