Macy's CLI with SP!

Ok so after reading about the other thread regarding Macy's CLI, I figured I'll give it a shot again.

Made the call, had to interact with the stupid automatic system to waste a few minutes, and finally got to talk to a live person.

She sounded really nice, and I'm guessing I might be in luck for a CLI. 

 

I asked for a soft pull specifically, but she didn't quite get what I meant. So I just said I don't want a hard inquiry done no matter what, even if it means no CLI.

She noted that it's been almost a year since I put any charges on the card and I told her I was planning to buy a mattress or some furniture soon which is why I needed a CLI.

I was put on hold while she talked to the supervisor, and then she went ahead and asked how much increase I wanted, and all the income related questions.

 

I asked for 5000, but got counteroffered and said that's the max she can do without an inquiry. So my Macy's increased from 100 to 3500. It's a very nice increase if you compare it to my original limit, but it's low compared to my other CLs. I'm happy though, since I don't use that card. I might just buy something cheap and then leave the card alone again for a year or so.

 

I tried to ask for a CLI for my bloomingdale's account as well, since they're the same company. However I am not qualified for any since my last CLI was done Jan'13.

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
