Target CLI

Woke up early this morning and decided to jump on Credit Karma for no apparent reason , lol. I was shocked to see an increase on my Target Redcard limit showing. Oddly, I had some things going on in my personal life and forgot about the payment due date.  I made it 2 days late, oops. My limit went from $2900.00 up to $5,000. An increase of $2100.00. I'm assuming this is a pretty decent CLI for Target.  So, does anyone think this will trigger that magical change from Redcard to the Target Mastercard, or do they even offer that anymore?

O

I have no secret that I know of. I've been a cardholder since  2013 and I believe started with an initial limit of $500.00 back then.

Re: Target CLI

@Sbrav77  Perhaps it was only coincidence. For data points: How long have you had the card? Do you have other bad marks reporting?

Re: Target CLI

I have had the card since 2013. Originally it had a $500.00 limit.  I have no negative accounts since 2017. Have a few charged off credit cards back then. Nothing negative with Target though.

@Sbrav77 ,

 

Congrats on the huge increase.

Once your CL reaches $4,000- typically, the Redcard get the MC upgrade.

As noted, a letter should be notifying you of the increase and MC conversion.
