J Crew and Amazon CLI

No big deal, got some CLI on a couple of store cards.

 

I got the J Crew a few months ago with $250 initial limit and hit the luv button immediately for $200 CLI.  Then, like clockwork, I hit the button each month for $200 luv.  The exciting news is that my limit now stands at $1050 - and those of you who follow such things know that some people experience major luv after they cross the $1k barrier.  A second press yielded nothing this time, but I can't wait for next month and the possibility of 19 instances of luv all at once Smiley Happy

 

I also feel very lucky that J Crew is the only SCT store card I have.  I tried SCT it immediately after learning about it on myFICO and it worked first try.  I then tried 20 other sites and have never had another SCT offer pop for me on any other site.  I'm so happy that didn't happen because I would probably be holding and regretting half-a-dozen other cards.  Blind stupid luck on my part.  I'm happy to have the J Crew through, as long as they give me some major luv next month.

 

I picked up the Amazon Store Card in late December with $600 starting limit.  I've charged one item per month to it for a couple of bucks just to let them know I'm alive.  They gave me auto-CLI of $300 last week.  I might start charging a little more to the card because it now offers uncapped 5% on everytrhing; I do buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, but I was directing those charges to my Sallie Mae card.  My 4th statement should cut around the 27th of this month.  I'll give the luv button a try at that time.
