Anyone get CLI with Hooters?

Has anyone gotten a CLI with the Hooters card yet?

I did within 2 weeks of getting the card. I was just calling to ask how they do limit increases and she said they review monthly but she could do it over the phone for me. She said soft inquiry but it wasn't...not very happy about that but I went from 5000 to 6250 in 2 weeks.

I had my card for 3 months so far. I'll wait 3 more months and call them for CL. I think it is worth waiting and let the card build track record with them. I am optimistic, I would get a CLI. I have been doing PIF and on time every month.

Don't know about that, BCG, a lot of cards want to see that you are using their card frequently before they give you more than a minimum CLI. It's true that CCC's make money off of charging you interest and (shudder) late fees, but they also make money on transaction fees. Every time you use it, they benefit.

You want to think of yourself as a business partner of your CCC's. There should be some mutual benefits going on to keep both sides happy.

Now if you've had a card for a year, and you've used it, and paid it, and done your part, and they're not holding up their end, then definitely, put that one on ice, until they decide if they want to do their part or not!

does it matter how much you spend on the card and how often?

If you're talking about making the CCC happy, then using it a lot, paying several times a month if necessary, makes both of you winners. It's not a guarantee, and I don't know if it works with your cards, but all you can do is be a good customer for them, and then see if they reciprocate.
