Mercury Auto CLI from $1,500 to $2,250

I'm very pleased with the growth of this card. I lost my wallet briefly and found it and checked my account between that time and saw my limit went up by itself! Mission Lane has never given me increases like that and my Ollo Card is still stuck at $600 so yeah I'm happy! 

 

They also just finished updating the available credit so I know it's not a glitch. This was days after my last statement generated and I've had the card since late March so for about 4 months at least. My birthday was yesterday too so I guess this was their answer to that.

Congrats on the Mercury luv!

 

I think there was another Mercury CLI posted around here someplace as well. They must be doing account reviews and they like what they saw on yours! clap.gif

 

As far as Mission Lane, you look like you're in a good position to drop that one. Especially with that nice PenFed card in your sig! Navy should grow nicely for you as well over time.

Yes for the most part I SDed Mission Lane and put one small monthly charge on it to keep it active. I see so many people here who had better luck getting nice starting limits on it and I got it 4 months after my bankruptcy discharge so there's that.
