Over $55K in No Inquiry CLI's

Decided to go on a no inquiry CLI spree and here are the results. Thinking I'll try for one more increase with my NFCU AMEX (UPDATE: APPROVED for a $8K increase to a new CL of $28K). 

 

AMEX Cash Magnet: $6K increase to a new CL of $26K

Capital One Venture: $10K increase to a new CL of $25K (surpised because I minimally use)

Discover It: $3500 increase to a new CL of $13.5K 

MercuryCard (previously Barclay Rewards): $1K increase to a new CL of $5750 (automatic increase)

Neiman Marcus: $10K increase to a new CL of $34K

NFCU Cash Rewards: $8K increase to a new CL of $24.1K

NFCU Platinum: $8K increase to a new CL of $19K

Venmo Visa: $1K increase to a new CL of $20K

 

Attempting to get all my credit cards to a $20K limit or higher. The Mercurycard will likely be unachievable. Will likely close the Mercurycard in 4 to 5 years as all the other credit cards have aged to 6-13 years.

Well played, @CWESTL!  Congrats on all your massive CLI approvals!  Smiley Very Happy

Since I came to My Fico a few years ago, I've become more diligent about putting in for increases when I'm eligible, and it really pays off over time!  Enjoy those higher limits and the additional utilization padding!

but when I do, I prefer that they are Soft Pulls ..."

Stay thirsty (for CLIs), my friends.

@Aim_High I couldn't agree more. Acting with patience, intention and deliberately have certainly paid off over the years of recovery. MyFico Forums are a true wealth of empowering knowledge.

 

UPDATE: My last request for a CLI was approved!! Updating the post. 

 

NFCU AMEX: $8K increase to a new CL of $28K
