When to request a credit limit increase with Capital One

I am currently new to the forums so please work with me. I currently have 2 credit cards with Capital One. I have the platinum card (750 cl) and the cash rewards (1500 cl). I received the platinum card 3/12 and the cash rewards card 7/12. The platinum card always report a 0.00 balance on my credit report since I pay it off before the statement cuts. My cash rewards card always report a 5% balance which is 75.00.  I recently got a credit card, line of credit and auto loan with navy federal and also I have a personal loan. I was wondering if I send an email to capital one EO for a CLI will they deny me since I recently applied for other credit products and have several recent inquiries on my credit report. I was thinking I should just wait 6 months then send the email. What are your suggestions.

 

 

Thanks

IMO I would wait until July when both your accounts are at or above 1 year and try for CLI's on both. Good luck!!!

Re: When to request a credit limit increase with Capital One

I was approved for 2 cap1 cards 6/12 

EO CLI 2/13 doubled both YMMV

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?
