BOA CLI chances?

Brief history:

Opened a BankAmericard in Sept 2013 with an initial $3500 CL(later recon'ed to $10k pretty easily with a HP on TU)

 

I used it for $9000 or so worth of BTs. Since then, I've paid the balance down to about $6000, so utilization is 60%. Monthly payments have ranged from 100-1500.

 

 

Do you all think I'd be approved for a credit line increase? My sixth statement will cut at the end of this week. I would expect to ask for a cli post sixth statement.



I am fairly certain that they would pull TU for a cli on my account. I currently have 3 inqs on TU in the past year. My TU score is 700+ and util is 10-12%. Of seventeen cards, only three have reported balances: BOA, Discover IT, and CSP.

 

I guess that's enough background info LOL...

 

If I requested a CLI to $25,000, do you all think it would be approved?

Re: BOA CLI chances?

I think you would get it. BoA loves use (who doesnt) and doesn't mind balances. I was able to get CLI on my Cash Rewards card just before 6 months. $1500 to $5k (asked for $10k at the time). 6 months later asked for $15k got $10k where it's at today. I carried anywhere from 10 to 25% util on it.

I think you'll get something, maybe not the full amount.

Kenny how old was your account? I've heard of them giving SP after some time but not 6 months.
