CL Question???

I have the following cc's with the following CL....

 

JCPenny-$700

Old Navy-$1800

Cap1-$500

Target-200

Walmart-$150

 

So my quesiton is that the last 2 have such a low Cl are they even worth keeping to help with my credit? I was thinking that maybe no but then again I can use then and maybe built a GREAT credit relationship with them and maybe in the future I'd get a CLI...What are your thoughts???

wait 4 months and you will probably see a jump in Walmart or you can request it at 4 months, same with Jcpenney and Old Navy (all GE backed cards)

Target, you might be stuck for a while or forever but if it's brand new, I would keep it, you already took the hit for new account and inq and it's no annual fee and they will never close for non use.

My Target card bumped from $200 to $500 in a few months, plus it offers a 5% discount on purchases now.

 

I got my Walmart card in February at $500, and I've gotten 2 increases already - to $700 early summer and just last week to $1100.

So how long in between did the Walmart CLI take for you? My CL is super low but I figured at least they gave me a shot right???

GE is every 4 months you can request increase online.

but I think the first CLI from walmart is automatic... I have seen about everyone going to $700 after 4 statements automatically... I did also, then next one I requested online

Re: CL Question???

So when you request an increase do they pull your credit again or is it based solely on your payment history with them?

thanks Smiley Happy
