CC Increase Question

On an existing CC account, if I were to call my creditors and ask for a limit increase, is it a hard or soft pull? I have Capital One, USAA Amex and BOA.

Re: CC Increase Question

Of the 4 you've shared, only USAA would be a HP. The others are SP.

You probably don’t need another answer saying the exact same thing, but just think of it as triple verification. 

 

USAA would be HP, but the others would be SP.

Re: CC Increase Question

Will an increase on my Home Depot cc and one of my bank cc's improve my FICO score? I have less than 5%  balance currently.

Probably not. You're already below the 8.9% threshold that typically optimimizes the utilization portion of your score.

To add, CLI requests for Home Depot are typically HP.
