CLI Increase Questions

I am currently in the garden as I have obtained quite a few cards in a short period of time. I would like to garden for the next 6-12 months. During this time I would like to grow some of my limits on the cards I have. But I would like some input as the best time frame to do this. Here is what I have and the ages.

 

Credit One $400- Plan to close when AF come due in Oct

Merrick Bank $600- suppose to double CL after 7 months of on time payments in Oct

Barclay MC Rewards $1300- Opened in May

Discover It $1200- Opened in July

Barclay Apple Card $2000- Opened in July (thinking of moving the limit to my rewards after I use the 0% promotion on a new Iphone)

Carecredit $1000-  Opened in July

Walmart $700- Opened in July

Amazon SC $800- Opened in July

Fingerhut $600- Opened in Feburary

Kohls $300- Opened in July 

 

When is the best time to request CLI on these cards? I use and PIF prior to my cards statement cutting.

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: CLI Increase Questions

I have only made 1 purchase from fingerhut. I was planning on keeping the Merrick open for one year since I already paid the AF. You think I should close it out in Sept? Thanks for you advice! Smiley Happy
