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!
So very true!!

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
Thank you for the warning, so far I seem to be lucky no alerts yet. But I will be on the lookout, at worse Ill get hit with 2 which is not bad since I think I only have 4 anyway.
