BoA CLI question

I just pressed the loved button on my BoA luv button and requested my CL be $35K (its currently 20K) For the first time I didn't get an instant approval but got a 7-10 message. I have read some people get 'please call for instant decision' but does a 7-10 day message mean I got declined? not even a counter? I have never seen this message before when I clicked the luv button as they have always approved. My TU report is my best one.

you can either check back maybe tomorrow or monday or you can call and go through review right now with underwriter if you call backdoor number... just means person is going to review instead of computer... most common with BofA I think plus now that you are up in that credit line range, not to common for banks to let computers alone decide that high Smiley Happy

Yes Im thinking (and hoping) its becasue my CL is already high and an analyst needs to review. It never asked me to call in just that I'd get a letter in 7-10 days. I will log in each day to see if there is any change. I have a zero balacne and also have another BoA card with a 15k limit with zero balance. Always pif, close to 800 Fico no baddies and 4% utl overall.

Re: BoA CLI question

Probably just needed a manual review since it's such a large line and large increase as well.

I asked a analyst, he said that anything over 25K will need to be approved by them anually.

So, you basically has 2 options

1) Wait for their reply, which may/may not be favourable.

2) (recommended) Call them up and they will ask questions, like why you need CLI, for what you use this card most for blah.. then they will approve or counter with some thing they can give as of now. Good luck for you.

 

Can you tell me what's your AoA and oldest tradeline ? Just curious on your score of 800
