Neiman Marcus 2x CLI with a twist...

Account opened 2/2017 with a limit of $700, got an instant CLI when I received the card, then a CLI to $5000 earlier this year, but denied CLI twice since. All of those calls are what I would consider typical CLI calls. Called today, I was asked how much I wanted and I said whatever I was eligible but the rep seemed to be waiting for me to give a number so I said $10,000. She said let me put you on a brief hold, and 10 seconds later said okay, I was able to compete the increase to $10,000. Wasn’t asked my income or anything, literally just my name and last 4 of SSN. Talk about easiest CLI ever!

Oh, and I’ve only spent $500 on the card. One transaction, lol.
Kind of have everything I want now, creditwise. Undeliberately gardening until I have some spending to do and find a 100,000 Amex Platinum offer lol

Re: Neiman Marcus 2x CLI with a twist...

I have a similar story with my neimans card. I got mine over a year ago, started at $700. 6 months later I got a CLI to 2k. Then a month later to 3k. Then denied the next month, and the month after that to 5k. I try every month or two. It’s sitting at $8500 now, but I can’t for the life of me figure out any pattern with them. I’m not gonna complain, though.

hehe, GTK, I just recently applied for this one because I've heard they're so good with CLI - even though I just called & was DENIED! (only my second month with the card and haven't ever used it yet... lol), 

 

I'm glad you posted this because I was worried about how much I'd actually have to put on it to make it grow decently. 

 

Congrats on your CLI! Awesome Limit!!

Re: Neiman Marcus 2x CLI with a twist...

Update, after reading this I realized I haven’t called in since May.

The rep first goes “you received an increase to $8500 on May 10th, you know that right?”

I said yes, she proceeded to ask me if I rent or own (didn’t ask what my rent amount actually is) and asked me to hold. She came back with a “I was able to increase your limit to $11,000, is there anything else I can help you with today?”

Neiman’s is a strange bird, but I’m not asking questions. Hahaha.
