So it been a long time coming but my FICO scores are finally in pretty good standing (717, 715, 714) with no lates or baddies and 2.5 yr clean history. I have a NFCU card with a $4K limit and as of last week, they randomly increased the limit by $1000. It took me by surprise since my utilization is high on that card and I was working on bringing it down to 20% utilization before asking for an increase to $10-15K.
Since this increase will drop my overall utilization, will this bump my scores up more? Also am I able to make my own request for another increase or should I wait 6 months?
Congrats on Your Navy Auto CLI
Congrats on your NFCU auto luv!
Ask for $25, system will counter

Congratulations on the auto CLI. Yes, when a NFCU card is heavily used and paid on time, NFCU tends to give auto CLIs. It has happened for me, my brother, and another friend of ours.
Yes, you can ask for a CLI at anytime, but count on a HP. But like another poster said, I would wait. IMHO, I think waiting 3 months is good.
