Need advice for chase credit limit increase.

So I have a chase sapphire preferred. It has been my main card for a while. 

Should I

1) ask chase to increase CL to a high number, like $30k and see what's the max they'll give me?

2) or should I say a low number like $21k? And have a high chance of approval?

 

what is the suggested method?

Re: Need advice for chase credit limit increase.

I banked with Chase and have had their cards for a while. Chase is not generous with CLI as they are with initial CL (though it's not like they're generous with initial CL in anyways) but if your profile warrant it they will grant it. Yes, they will counter, from my experience.

Yes reach for the stars and hope for the moon 

Also to note a request by you will result in a HP

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?

So you are saying I should ask for $30k and they will counter with their max? Hopefully they don't hang up.

I hope not but if so call again Smiley Very Happy


Yes ask for what you want and let them say what's available 

Since you'll be offering the CLI Gods a HP anyway

Ask for all your Chase cards if you like CSP, Freedom and Amazon

You are only asking for $30k and the CSP is already at $18k? Why not a $40k ask?
