Since it's a Citi backed card I would bet 99% that they pulled TU if they pulled credit.

OP I would go back in and ask for CLI to $2k and get the full counter of what they are willing to increase you too... if they pulled credit already for your $100 request, they will use that pull for the 2nd request.

Hey, no they pulled EX only Im in NJ dont know if that matters. Should I still ask for more? I have not receved any alerts for a HP for the credit increase. As far as I know the only pull I got was on EX last week when I applied. I got the card yestereday and set up an online account and then went for the credit increase, they approved it in less than an hour.

I just did, I asked for the 2k lijke you said never asked for that much in my life! Obviously I wont get the whole thing but hopefully I will get something. I should have did it the first time instead of asking for a measley $100 Oh well you live and you learn and then you get luvs lol. Will update when I hear from them.

Thanks again!

I couldnt wait to wake up and tell you guys!! I just received my shell drive for 5 card yesterday, activated it and set up an online account and for the heck of it I ht the luv button they asked how much I wanted I said only $100 because I was scared of getting denied and then got the 7-10 message, Fast forward an hour, they emailed said they have reached a decision... boom request granted!! I know I really dont need a $300 gas card but hey nothing like seeing approved when you ask for more money. Now that I think of it I should have asked for more lol.

Have a great day Fico Fam!!

Edit: At the advice of a fellow Fico'er I asked for more and they gave me an additional $200. To a total of $500. Im good for now, I mean how much gas can I really use anyway filled up last night and it only came to $35 lol!! Might ask again around xmas time since we will be driving from NJ to NC and back. Also dropped my fico ex down 4 points but that was due to both the inquiry and new account so not that bad. Back to the garden I go and this time I can drive cuz I have a gas card!!

Thanks everyone!

The point is, no matter the CC, any rise from a starting limit upwards is definitely welcome!

Congrats!

with shell it has always been a HP, so be careful. Before, when i didnt know what a HP and a SP were, or that asking for the CLI's would result in them, I was asking every other week, got 8 hard pulls from them. Mine is at 1200, and I use atleast 900-1150 in gas a month. so its PIF'ed every month or sooner
