Called Walmart back door number

I applied online last night for a Walmart card.....and was approved for the Walmart disc over..with a 950 credit line.....I called this morning to ask for a increase and after a few questions she came back and stated that she could only approve me for 1900.  Should I be happy?  This is my first Gecrb credit card. They pulled Tu my score is 712, utilization is 30percent.

Congrats on your approval!!  Smiley Happy. The question is- are you happy about it?  I think a $1900 starting limit with Walmart is a good start!  I started I think with $500 and a 1.5 years later I am $9K on the regular store card.  GE will grow with you.

Re: Called Walmart back door number

I don't know if I am happy or being silly.....a few yrs ago I would have been so  excited with 950 dollars...now that I have a nice portfolio........Nfcu-12k, Amex Zync, Amex platinum, CITI-6k,Chase Freedom-5k,Discover-1.1k, etc....I thought I would have gotten a nicer CLI......

 

i will see how it grows....the analyst said  I could call back before 4 months....when I have more of a payment history with them and ask for another CLI.

Be happy!  Smiley Happy

 

This could can/will easily reach the CL levels of your Citi/Chase cards, and one call to UW (on a new account, no less) put it greater than your Discover.  Mine has gone from $900 to $4000 just this year, and this is common for the GE cards.  And, as an added bonus you get the free monthly TU Fico. Smiley Happy

Re: Called Walmart back door number

Nice, congrats on the approval and increase!

I got this card via pre-approval and got a $700 limit on the store card. I was thinking of calling in and asking for more, but I know the card will grow. I didn't want to risk anything since they gave me the card without a HP as well.

Very nice! Since it's a GECRB backed card, it should grow nicely for you. Congrats!

Don't let it bother you. Follow what the rep says. I got a WMD in September with a starting CL of $800. Two months later I called and requested an icrease to $8000 and was approved. From my reading here, it seems they like to start quite low, but the lines grow like weeds. Congrats!

Re: Called Walmart back door number

yes be happy.

so its a 1.9k limit FOR NOW 

as long as your reports are clean and your util is down they will tread you nice 

 

now this is for the store card but im sure same policy applies for the discover version 

started at 800July-3000-october 5000-october  all this year 

 

when you get your card make sure to get your free fico 

i started at 724 and novmeber one said 743 so i was def pushing for that cli before my best buy util hit the reports.
