Just approved for US Airways Mastercard - some questions........

Finally feel like a human again...... went to buy a airline ticket and thought, what the heck when the screen asked if I wanted a US Airways Mastercard.

 

Clicked the button and it came back approved for $4000.   My highest limit to date.   Should I bother calling for a recon on the CL?   

 

I currently have a DiscoverIT for $1500 (14 mo), Merrick Visa for $1400 (1 yr) and a Capital One Visa $2000 (18 mo).    Is it worth trying for an increase or will they auto increase after 7 mo or a year?

Congrats! If it's your highest CL it's doubtful they will give you a CLI in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the quick response!   I think I will just wait for the card and use it to pay utility, phone and other monthly bills and then pay all up each month.   Hopefully with good usage and payment, they will increase my line!
