Unexpected Buy Power CLI

I got this card about a year ago, responding to a pre-approval mailer.  I was disappointed and annoyed with a starting CL of $500, with a bump to $750 after three months via credit steps.  

 

I had  tried a recon immediately after the initial approval, and the representative tried to increase the line but couldn't because there were still a couple lingering, small open collections on the CR they were viewing.  

 

I haven't used the card that much, mostly because of the crappy credit line and I have other cards with larger limits and rewards.  I have used it now and then to keep it active.

 

I decided to log into my account tonight, and they bumped my CL up to $2500, no request from me.  My credit profile is much better than it was a year ago ... guess they must have done some sort of review.  I'll take it!

 

It's one of my lowest CLs, but it beats my QS1 which has been sitting at $750 for almost two years. Smiley Happy

5x cli is awesome. So unlike them to be that generous. Might have to start using it now.

That's awesome. Can't get any better surprise than that. Perhaps I'll hang on to my GM card and see where it goes.

If I cpups get a good SL on that card I would get it-especially if it comes looking like your Caddy card, GTC! That's one hot looking card. (I'm also an admitted Cadillac worshiper)

Yes. It looks sharp. I wouldn't let go of it. Counting the day I can justify getting the Platinum Amythest Deep Metallic. haha.

I got one for 250, last Sat. I spoke to a rep on Wed and she informed me it would be April before my Credit steps would kick in. Came in sooner. Now its at 750 in my SD.
