No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
It's been a while since I asked for CLI's. After reviewing the board this morning, I thought, well, let's give it a try.
Here are my results:
BofA - From 20k to 24k and yes, they pulled it from another account. Sigh. I knew that could happen, but now the CL is distributed where I want it. HP
Discover - A big 500. It brought that account to 33k. SP
NFCU AmX - From 18.1 to 25k. This is my second NFCU card. Can I just say how much I love NFCU! SP
CareCredit - I asked for 4k and they gave me 2k. That can work for now. I have hip surgery pending for my Pyrenees mix fur baby so I wanted it at a good place. Now 20k. I love this card for my two dogs, my cat, and myself. So far SP
Home Depot - I asked for a 5k increase to 30k because of renovations I plan on my house. I had to call and do some verification, so I was happy when it was approved. I financed my roof for zero interest and I plan on adding new double paned windows and a fence for my dogs who are escape artists. HP (Oops, I put 25k and it is now 30k. Just edited that.)
All of my double digit inquiries fall off this year and early next year so I didn't mind the HP so much, but still prefer not to have them. This is a year after my three year rebuild that was a wild time for credit applications.
I have such admiration for everyone who is rebuilding. I had a Chapter 13 so had zero credit for five years while I made my payments. It feels good to have credit now. The discipline I learned during those five years has helped me so much.

Thanks, nrm. It has been quite a struggle at first, but easy cruising now as long as I remember all the lessons from that five year drought.
The sweet smell of CLI success in the morning almost better than coffee (i said "almost").
Congrats!
