Home Depot Approval - Yeah Me!!

I am about to move, and I am in need of paint, lawn care items, etc., so I decided to apply online for a Home Depot CC.  The system stated that I needed to call in, which was due to an extended fraud alert on my credit reports.

 

Anyway, after a couple minutes of asking me questions, the rep asked me what my CL request was going to be.  I hesitated for a moment and said $3,000, thinking they would counter with a lower amount (if I was not declined).  She said congratulations, and that I was approved.

 

I am very happy, but I am upset I did not ask for more.  I am thinking of calling back and asking for $10,000.  Heck, why not?

Re: Home Depot Approval - Yeah Me!!

Thanks to everyone for their congratulations.  Out of curiousity, would it do any harm to call back tomorrow and ask for a $10,000 CL?  From what I have read on the forum, they would not do another HP as long as it is within 30 days.

 

I supposed my only worry is that they will cancel the CC if I get greedy.  Is this a valid worry?  Thanks

Congrats on your approval. I don't believe they would cancel your account, the most they would probably do
is just say no.  Good luck
