ExxonMobil CLI

[Anonymous]

In case anyone was wondering, they will grant increases after the 9th month. If you call the number on the back of the card, it will not be a hard inquiry. If you hit the luv button, then it will be hard.

I still have a couple of months to go, but thought it could be food for thought for some who have the personal card.

That's interesting.  I have a 'relationship' with ExxonMobil and my EM card account doesn't even show up on my CR, never has.  My CL was $900 for years and since I only charge gas to it that was no problem, but I noticed about six months ago the CL was increased to $1,400.  That's still enough, but if gas keeps going up, who knows.

That's strange that they don't show up on your CR. They're backed by Citi. Does matter or not?

stef37 thanks for the info! I just got my Exxon/Mobil card today w/ a intial 800 CL

It reports to mine now. I know they didn't at one time. DI is AU on mine and it only reports to his EQ.

Not really, the 'relationship' I mentioned is as an employee.  The bill is automatically deducted from my paycheck at the end of the month [less the employee discount (not as big as one might guess)], so they must figure what's the downside for them, they have a tap into funds to always pay the bill.  Same thing with the corporate AMEX card, it never shows up on my CR either.  Come to think of it I also have a Visa card from their Credit Union, and it too doesn't show up on my CR either.  H'mmm, never thought about that.

How long did it take for them to report assuming you used the card or not? Do they report to all 3 CB's?

[Anonymous]

They report to all 3 for me. I want to say it was Feb when they first reported.
