What exactly does it say?


I went to the website last night and saw the limit increase button, i don"t remember if i saw the the limit increase button a few weeks ago.


What is the exact wording though on the limit increase button?  Having it just show up one day isn't unusual.

That isn't the exact phrasing BoA generally uses on their luv button.   Can you use a snipping tool to capture and post what it is you're seeing?

It could be useful for the next person who encounters the same senario.

Hello! It might be a little off-topic, but how were you offered that $99 deposit for the partially secured card? Were you already a BofA customer before that offer?


Not OP but I also got that offer for the Cash Rewards secured card by applying for the u secure version but getting denied. Called recon and they offered it to me.

Re: Bank of America credit card limit increase

I'm not a BOA guru but if it's a soft pull then it can't hurt to ask. What's your limit now? How much are you looking for?

Re: Bank of America credit card limit increase

From a timing aspect, you're eligible...but does the "Request Credit Line Increase" link show up online when you look at your account?

That's typically their indicator of "try your luck it might work out" 

If the link does not exist, you will be told no

If the link does exist, they will go off a previous SP to make their decision.
