Minimum Waiting Time to Contact Cap 1 EO Again

I contact the Cap 1 EO department a couple weeks ago and received a CLI on my 2 CC accounts.  Also, they did a PC to the Quicksilver on both.  

 

My credit score has gone up 20 points since I spoke with them and I expect more of a bump when my utilization lowers in a few days.  What is the minimum time you would recommend between contacting the EO and requesting a CLI?  I do not want to bother them but I think a 30 point jump in credit score (estimate) might allow me to get another bump.

 

thank you.

Re: Minimum Waiting Time to Contact Cap 1 EO Again

CAP1 is saying 6 months from last CLI lately but some have had luck with less

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

In mid-December, my contact at the EO told me that if the amount requested was not fully granted, I could ask again before the six months.  He indicated that I should wait the six months if the full CLI request was approved.

It seems that 6 months is the minimum time. They will probably deny before then, stating that your account has been changed within the last 6 months. Good luck to you.

Re: Minimum Waiting Time to Contact Cap 1 EO Again

I've called the EO and received a CLI just two months after a previous CLI.  I know the luv button doesnt work for 6 months after receiving a CLI whether its from a luv button or EO.  Just my experience

Re: Minimum Waiting Time to Contact Cap 1 EO Again

Thank you for the information.  Well, at least I can call to see about lowering my APR.  Then I can kind of feel them out concerning the CLI.  Thank you all.
