How to grow my Macys and Bloomingdals CC?

[BearsAndTurtlesRtheBest]

How can I hurry these two so that they can upgrade to AMEX version? EX fico is in siggy.

CLI every 4 months and ask for upgrade once you are over 700 EX

Rebuilding is a marathon not a sprint EX FICO currently too low

Typically the higher over 700 it gets, the better results will be on Macy's/Bloomies cards

Results are largely score driven, a strong usage history can't hurt though

Ok Macys acct was opened March 15 2014 looks like by mid July I should be requesting that CLI and ask for $2,000 and see what they encounter with I will be using card again altho I dont want to since I just PIF maybe a dress shirt or something under $100 so I can PIF. Thanks guys hopefully by then I get close to 700 FICO altho I doubt it.

Why only try to grow Macys and Bloomies?

Just noticed in your signature : "Will be closing: Wells Fargo Platinum VISA $1,000 & Sony VISA $500"

Why? Opening and closing cards after such a short time ?

I'm kind of puzzled by this as well. Why would you keep and only grow store cards, and want to get rid of a VISA you can use anywhere, when I don't see that you have another one?

IIRC, OP is only an AU on those accounts.

When I got my Macy's CC on recon, that rep told me to call that number back in 6 months.   She also mentioned I could request a CLI on the regular card in "a couple of months," so I may ask for one when I next see a Macy's SP.   I also want to make sure all of the other CLIs are posted, as it'll show that Macy's CL is only $50 above my lowest CL.

You may want to dispute off the AU accounts from your CRs and you know how to manage UTIL already.
