Just Got a MAJOR Unsolicited CLI on SDFCU Card - Originally Secured

I received an Experian alert telling me one of my credit cards had a limit increase.  I logged in and saw it was SDFCU.

 

Here's my history:

 

  1. Applied & received secured card early 2015 during rebuilding
  2. Card went unsecured around Dec 2018 (w/o me asking)
  3. Received unsolicited limit increase around Nov 2019 to a stingy $750
  4. Just got notification of unsolicited CLI to $6250

So, this is how long it takes SDFCU to believe me worthy of decent credit.  For all those who have a secured SDFCU card, there is hope, but takes a while.  I have always used this card a LOT.  Would have to pay on the bill often since I wanted to keep the reported balance at near $0.  I kinda liked the fact that the limit was low to avoid being too exposed with a big limit - given how often I use the card.

 

I have also had 3 personal loans with SDFCU - paid off early.  Everything with excellent payment history. Don't know if having the loans affected how they handled the card & CLIs.

@Gonzozap Congrats on the CLI! Thats a nice step up! 

 

Mind letting us know your scores when you first got the card and when it graduated?

Gee, that's tough to recall.  I think my score was about 560 when I got the card.  When they refunded my security, scores maybe were 680. When they gave me the stingy increase Nov 2019, scores were about 770.  Best score today is 835.
