No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
OP- Comenity definitely likes you to spend to get CLI but they do not "require it", we see lots of people who have not ever used on their cards and have been able to get CLI's.
VS and EX used to be you had to wait 9 months or so to get a CLI. I dont have those cards. I do have J crew card. Opened a year ago with a $500.00 CL, immediately raised to $800.00. Now its at $18,000.00. I use the card once a month. If I added all my spend on that card from the past year i have spent a couple thousand.
One shouldn't expect a CLI without spend.

I've used it once. I don't know how many underthings a person can really buy all the time. That's a lot of *** protection.
...and sweatpants. No cli for moi anytime soon. GJ on yours though!![]()
YES! Exactly the same thing! Once you buy something, it's an auto cli.
oh come on people, credit limits aren't simply for" the necessity" , like buying sports bras and wonder panties at Victoria secret, they are for padding utilization, financing large purchases without an effect on your score, enhancing your credit portfolio, etc.
after all, we are talking about banks here. We aren't taking about non-profit organizations researching cures and helping the helpless.
Take what you can get from these people, use it responsibly, and have no regrets. When you go down, none of these banks will be there to pick you up, and when they go down, they won't think twice about walking away like nothing ever happened.
Responsibility, not necessity.
And I just clicked my VS up from 750 to 1150 just now ![]()
That's an incorrect statement. overall utilization and singular utilization are both important. I would argue that having 5% overall utilization is significantly more important than having 80% utilization on one card.
If you have 10,000 in limits, and add a 10,000 card, which is really what we are talking about here with Comenity (barney's, blue nile, etc.) your 50% overall utilization with 5000 in balances, drops to 25% in overall utilization.
That is a monstrous effect.
