Re: Automatic Credit Line Increases

Alright! Really helpful stuff though with the total credit limit I have now (close to 5000 dollars and probably increasing in the next few months), I think I'm good at the moment though having a higher credit limit would be especially nice for the Amazon (especially for their financing on certain stuff they sell) and Discover cards and Wells Fargo has given me my third highest line of credit. It's mainly because I wanted to have the lowest utilization possible. Citi gave me the strangest reason as to why I didn't qualify for one and it was mainly because of a lack of credit references at the time.

Tradelines: Macy’s - $18k, Penfed Power Cash Rewards - $10k, Ethan Allen (TD Bank) - $5.7k, Kay Jewelers - $5.5k, Appliances Connection - $5.3k, Jared - $5.25k, Best Buy (Citi) - $5k, Dell Preferred Account - $3.5k, Samsung - $3.2k, Firestone CFNA - $3.2k, Capital One Platinum - $3k, Mercury MC - $2.25k, Williams Sonoma - $2.1k, Wayfair (Fortiva) - $2k, Amazon Store Card - $1.8k, Apple Card - $1.7k, NFCU cashRewards - $1.5k, CareCredit - $1.5k, B&H Photo - $1.5k, Adorama - $1.25k, Ebay MC - $1k, Sam’s Club MC - $1k, American Eagle - $1k, Ollo MC - $600, Mission Lane Visa - $500, NY & Company - $500, Walgreens - $500, Home Depot - $500, Target RED Card - $500, CapOne Secured MC 0 AF - $500, Penfed Overdraft LOC - $500

Current FICOS: Mid 640s-50s on all reports, Ch 7 BK D/C Aug 2019
Starting scores: EX - 534, EQ - 574, TU - 516 | Total TLs: $91k approx | Total Utilization: 17%, getting this back down

Re: Automatic Credit Line Increases

Suprisingly Amex BCE has given me auto luv twice when I was near/over my limit. I dont want to draw any conclusions, it just happen twice. 

 

All my other cards never gave me auto love I had to call and request it.

Re: Automatic Credit Line Increases

Barclays bumped me from $2k to $5k after recently paying a $1500 balance off. Pretty sure that's what triggered it.

 

Other than that, GE is the best known for generous SP auto-CLI's.

AMEX BCP $35k | Citi Double Cash $30k | PenFed PlatRewards $25k | Barclaycard $40k | Chase Freedom $25k | BofA Cash Rewards $40K | US Bank Cash+ $4500 | Discover IT $25k | NASA Platinum-Advantage $40k | CapOne Quicksilver $15k | Amazon Card $10k | Ten years on myFICO from 510 to 780 scores

Capital One, most GECRB-backed cards (Amazon Store, Walmart), and now sometimes Citi offer SP manual requests - a la "luv button." Why wait for auto-luv? GECRB request every fourth statement and Cap One every sixth.

I'm still waiting for my CLI on amazon and walmart. its been 10 months since opening.

Also does anyone have any advice in making myself more likely to qualify for these increases


It's all about your credit and income.  There are no magic tricks for CLI's.


I believe this to be true.
