You have 85K in credit with one bank and you don't think that is the reason they denied you're CLI request?  How much credit do you think they will give you?

I don't know about you all but that number just seems SO SILLY attached to anything that would follow after GE!

$85k is more than I managed with Amex in the hay days of free credit.

But after working at a store that used GE, I'm still shocked each time I see the credit cards and lines OP has with GE.... I think I will submit you to Guiness books of world records with most credit line with GE!

I have one GE card at 6k and I keep thinking about hitting the luv button or calling the back door number but I don't want the banks that I actually use to deny me credit increses due to that card having too much.

I would not worry about other banks denying you unless you have $20+k credit lines and are putting $10k yearly income.

Speaking of uping... Based on the cards and limits I see in your sigi you need to have a conversation with Navy to move you up to $35k today

Already tried! so I paid off the LOC and both mine and wifes cards and call again next month! they gave me $500 extra! I was like geeze thanks thats 2 tanks of fuel right now! They are weird Its a love hate relationship with them...

Lol.. It's not a big deal that they denied me a cli as I mentioned previously.
All I can do from this point is to keep paying my bills on time and get my FICO higher :-)

Im anxious to know the reasons for denial though! I wonder if it will be something income related!
Eh, we shall seeeee

[youngandcreditwrthy]

Btw, it's worth noting that many of my GE accts...
Dillard's, JCP, Lowe's... Have been opened since like 2007... So a pretty long time. I didn't get these limits overnight. Ive simply always had an aggressive credit-building strategy in place since I was old enough to get cred :-)

You are very agressive, that is for sure.  I'm sure it helps that you have quite a few accounts with GE and they are easy to get CLIs with Chase, AMEX and the such move quite a bit slower.

by my account you have right at 130K in credit lines, is this accurate?

[youngandcreditwrthy]

It's in the $130k-145k range....

My Amex even grew pretty quickly...
Got $3500 initially, then got the 3xcli to $10.5k on the 61st day. I know not to ask for more than $25k after six more months! Lol
I'm not even bothering asking Chase for a cli; they like to do hps, and my Freedom card is maxed haha!
