Holy Crap! Lowes increased to $25k!

So I applied for lowes expecting a CL of around $500 but planned to recon for an increase per the many threads here. To my surprise I got a starting CL of $2k. So this morning I call to request a CLI to $25k thinking they would counter with $5-10k. They gave me the whole 25k. Just wow. Mind you, I only have 9 months of credit history is why I'm so shocked. My current scores are EQ 721 TU 740 EX 745

Sweet increase!

 

Lowe's has been known to give $30k - $35k limits to those with scores in your range so you honestly probably could have squeaked out even more.

 

I was approved with $3k when my credit score was about 725-730 and called right away to request $30k and instantly got it.  I was going to call back and ask for $35k after reading on these forums, but honestly $30k is already a ridiculous limit for a store card so no need Smiley Happy

I never carry a balance on ANY of my cards.  I don't even know (or care) what my APR is on any of my cards; my creditors could raise my APR's to 99.99% and not only would I not care, but I wouldn't even know as I never carry balances.

I won't carry a balance unless it's the special financing or the 18 month zero interest. I'm just happy about the extra padding for utilization purposes.
