US Bank Cash + Approved 15.49%..Need Recon Advise

Update:  after setting up the account it shows SL of $5K.

 

I app'd US Bank about 7 or 8 days ago, can't remember, actually forgot about it...never received email.  Seemed like an application glitch.

 

Got the Card today...do not know CL...pretty sure it will be the famous 500.

So, before I activate it.....

What do you say to the analysts to request a limit increase?  I hate talking to real people about credit...LOL.

I don't want to appear anxious...

Do you ask for a match to another card?    I have AMEX with 12k.

Congrats on the approval.  Many of us have received the same $500 SL and had to recon for a higher one.  Ask for $15K and tell them you were considering the card for their BT offer but with that limit, it would be impossible.  Add that a $500 SL is basically useless and not in line with your other cards.  Very easy to recon with them and you shouldn't have a problem getting a higher limit.  Good luck

SL of $5,000.00......Wonder if I should ask for more or just leave it be...I would like it to be closer to my Amex.

You've already taken the HP to get it, shouldn't be another to ask for more unless they tell you it will be. 

As suggested, mentioning you'd like to have a higher limit to use for BT and not wanting to max the card out. Worse they can say is no, but maybe you can get more from them.

 

Congratulations, by the way; good SL for US Bank

Thanks Tigers09...

I will toss it around for a little bit.....

Surely do not want another HP...saving it for a future Hustler Fastrak promo on the biz side.
