When my statement cut on the 19th I logged in at midnight and my limit went up 3k. So I'd check at midnight. Good luck.

From $2.5k I imagine? ($500 credit step)

Heavy use. PIF every month but 1.  The one balance that posted had an emergency charged $300 paid $50 2 days before the 6th statement cut.

So that was an auto CLI? (that came along with your credit step?)

Re: Come on Credit Steps!

I'm still waiting on my credit steps increase. 7th statement cut and nothing. Granted I am carrying a slight balance, but that shouldn't affect it, should it?

As long as you paid in full for your first six statements, you qualify.

Re: Come on Credit Steps!

Well see back then I didn't know what I know now and I carried a small balance every month. Granted I had 0% of course so I didn't pay interest, and I always paid on time and more than the minimum, but yea.

Re: Come on Credit Steps!

Is it good to have a zero balance before the 6th statement cut?
