Hi, I have 8 credit cards totalling to $50000. Here is the list
2 citi credit cards of 14000 and 11000
2 chase cards of 3000 and 4000
2 dsicover cards of 8000 and 3000
capital one of $1500
usaa master card of $6000 limit
The total is almost $50000. Within a year from now, I want to touch $100k. Please suggest me I can achieve that. My credit score is in 730's and just 1 hard inquiry, probably it will be 2, as I have applied an account recently What are the different new cards I can apply for. I heard nfcu gives high limits, but I am not eligible, as neither me or any of my friends are related to military. Please suggest me.

Re: More Credit Limit
Hello and welcome to the forums. First off, there are a few questions to ask. Why do you want $100K in revolving credit? Do you really need that much or just want it? What is your income like? Will your income support that much credit? If not, you may see a backfire and watch those CLIs shrink instead of grow. &50K is a lot of revolving debt, so why more?

Re: More Credit Limit
So you want to fund the business using credit card debt? Not always a good idea, as credit lines can easily get reduced as issuers see that your utilization is way up and/or if you have to miss a payment, you might get hit with penalty rates on APR.
Have you also tried other approaches, such as getting a small business loan (or a HELOC if you own property). Anyway, good that you explained what you need, so the emphasis needs to be on cards with good introductory APRs, and low balance transfer fees, and not necessarily those with the highest CL and reward structure.
You didn't list exactly which cards you have, so advice might duplicate. For example, Citi Simplicity is often mentioned in this context, 0% purchase/BT for a long time, but is that one you already have?

If you need a card to run business expenses through I would recommended an AMEX charge card. You will be able to have the flexibly of pushing the charges you need but also know that you can't carry the debt month to month. I would also recommend going to a local CU with your business plan and get a business line of credit.
+1 Although it has been done many times, financing a business with consumer credit cards is an extremely risky business. Definately a credit union or bank LOC. When you start amassing large amounts of personal credit, creditor want to make sure you have the income to support it...
