Merrick Bank Double limit

[Anonymous]

So I was doing some searching on the forums about this specific question I have and nothing has popped up. I've googled it and still no answer so I have to ask. I've had this card since October and my 7th statement just cut yesterday and my limit is still the same. I got a SL of 500 and it says my limit will be doubled after 7 months. So for those who have had this card, when did they double your limit? At statement cut? Few days after? Month after? I wish there was more data on this specific card.

My Account doubled on May 8th. Here's the email I got from Merrick on Nov 1. 2019; I activated the card on Oct 7th:

Wow I feel really embarrassed. I ended searching through my email and found that specific email in regard to the double limit date. You have taught me that I should read welcome letters and activation letters better! Thank you for the reply, but again I feel embarrassed. Hah! Cheers!

I got an offer for this last year with no AF (no fees actually) with a $700 SL. It did double after 7 months and you'll get an email when they do.

I have this card, and they do give CLI's after the double. I have already gotten 2 more increases after getting my starting limit doubled. As long as you are not late on any payments, don't go over the limit and give the card use, it will grow.
