BofA is the BOMB!!!
I received my new Cash Rewards Platinum Plus Mastercard in the mail today. I took the advise given by everyone here and called the backdoor number credit dept. to inquire about a CLI. I was given an initial CL of $2.5k.
I was asked several questions about why I wanted the CLI, (I told him I wanted new living room furniture), total household income, and several other questions to help determine if I needed this CLI. I was told to hold for a few minutes and he would be back with a decision, after getting back on the phone he told me "why did you not tell me that you had such excellent credit", by now I'm wondering what is this man going to say about my CLI. I had asked for an increase to $10,000, but after he checked my CSR and scores, I told him I don't want to go overboard, let see if we can go for $15,000. So my new CLI is from $2,500 to $15,000. Happy, happy, happy.
As if that was not enough, he gave me the direct line to his supervisor and told me to call back and leave a message for him to call me about getting my new furniture. He told me that he could take $5,000 of my credit limit and put in a BofA account and use that to pay for the furniture and that way it would become % interest for one year, versus using the credit card and being charged 9.90% interest for use of the card.
My new relationship with BofA is off to an excellent start.
