CLI on a Meijer (Comenity) card?

[kberly69]

I have the Meijer store card with a paltry limit ($500) and was wondering if anyone out there has any info about when that speciific card will grant a CLI. I sent a secure message to them and received the same cut-and-paste-no-information reply twice. I've had five statements cut, have used it each month and paid in full. I was able to get one on my Overstock card, which I've used less. I can't anything out there about the Meijer store card.

Have you tried pushing a luv button or calling the automated line on your card ?

Oh, yes. My letters tell me my account is too new. They wouldn't tell me at what point it becomes "old"

Some of the Comenity cards don't budge for 9 months.  Meijer might be one of them.   :-(

This card blows..i have one store version since mid 2012 and barely got cli to $2450.

They allow one cli every 6 months.(like $300 to $500 ach time they approved you)

I cannot get cli online or robo lady i have to talk to a human each time ..

stay away from this card.

Ugh. I figured it wasn't going to be much. I've already decided I'll just use it for a tank of gas or two because the 10 cents off is nice but I'm not babysitting this thing to keep utilization down.

[kberly69]

And yes, I confirmed with a CSR that it is only after 6 months. 4 more days...

[kberly69]

So, update...  my sixth statement hit two days ago (I guess I was off on the timing a little). I hit the CLI button, and..... 7-10 day nasty red box comes up. I even called robo-lady the next day to see if maybe there was a delay.... nope. Now I wait for the envelope and see what sin I have commited now. I have run almost $2800 through this stupid, tiny, little card and I am so irritated!

I do too but I have found you're better off getting your groceries through a regular rewards credit card. The limit is so low on these cards, it's a joke tyring to keep utilization low if you spend much. The rewards aren't great ($10 for every $750 spent) so you get more out of a standard 1.5% cash back card.

I do like it for gas though- 10 cents off every gallon, which at prices around me means close to 5% off so if you buy gas there, it's worth the pull.

I don't expect my naughty letters to arrive for another week or two but I will post what they say.
