HSBC (Orchard Bank) and GEMB both do SP for CLI request.
Most of us don't see the light(me included), but it is there.

Don't let it bother you Steven13022, I have had an Orchard Bank card for about 9 months now and I just called to see about an increase and was denied one as well. I have a small balance now, but I make all payments on time and even make double payments when I can. My score just recently increased so I thought that I would be granted an increase, but apparently not. But then I though... in a few more months I will be able to apply for better cards as my scores continue to improve. They can have their $100 increase because I feel I am on my way to better offers with higher limits anyways.
I also did the pre-approved offer for a Orchard Bank Visa, and was told that I "qualify" for the Orchard Bank Platinum Visa but I didn't bite because I am looking at the bigger picture.
So don't feel down about it, this is a process and with patience and effort, you won't think twice about cards to rebuild, rebuilding will have been a thing of the past!![]()
I should have stated that I've had the card for right at 2 years and this is the first time I've requested a CLI. I've never had a late pmt w/ them and I've not paid 1 penny of interest to them, as I PIF each month.
Not sure if ANY of that has any barring on their decision wether to grant CLI or not.
P.S.
I am happy for all of those who got increases, I don't mean to sound bitter (because I was hoping for one as well). I'm just being realistic regarding my personal situation. ![]()
$100 CLI ?
Damn, Orchard is KRAZYYYY-WILD
I know how you feel. Hubby just got a card with a higher CL than mine when I started. Kinda bummed.

For a rebuilder card, that tidbit on paying no interest probably makes them a little mad ![]()
But it really shouldn't hinder you from an increase.
