What was you first 2k+ limit card?

[Tuxedo77]

I have received my two first 'non-toy/secured' cards in August (1K and 1.5K). Hopefully they grow. For those that were in a building or re-establishing phase, how long did it take to get your first serious limit cards? Or did you CLI the ones you already had?

took me 5 months with secured cards to get citi $4500, Discover IT $2500 and Lowes $3000 in my app spree last week.

Amex was the first one to put me over 2K.  They gave me $3K or $3.5K.  It was a revolving card and I loved it.  Wish they'd let me back in.  Anyhow, In 2004 I started cleaning my credit up.  I obtained some store cards as well as Capital One.  I didn't get the Amex until 2009.  However, I think I gave up on credit for awhile and that's why it took so long for me to obtain better bankcards.  Wish I knew about myFico several years ago!

Oh. And took about a year before starting to get the limits I have now.

The first highest CL that I got was from Dell Financial Service (DFS) back in '02 and that was my first $5k limit.

My First 2k CC and I kinda dont like to say it but it was Cap One
i still have the card and got it upgraded to QS One and it still has that ridiculous AF that I want to get rid of

If memory serves me correct I started out with a 350 CL and I read somewhere that if i continue to make payments for 6 months they will always review to give me CLI

which i made really sure i made payments on time or sooner and within a few months it grew from 350 to 700 to 2500 and 7 years later still stood at 2500

I asked for my first ever CLI with them this past month and got rejected and i emailed EO thru facebook to complain about the AF n CLI
I closed my 2nd cap one cause they wouldn't CLI it and id idn't know about EO at the time

Discover More (now IT) gave me $2k starting limit 6 months after my first BOA secured card.

My first was my local CU @5K then Citibank @3K and Cap1@2.5k. I started my serious credit building in March of this year but I had the Cap1 since 07 with the same CL until this year.
