wanting to maximize my cap one cli

[Anonymous]

I agree with the consensus as that is what I've done.  I used my cap1's as my primary cards and pif each month.  Ran several hundred to a couple thousand through them each month.   Got a 3-6k increase and a 3-5k increase with scores in the 690's.   

Not impossible for that big a jump, but not a normal occurance either.

OP, as vegas touched on, the norm cli seems to be 3-4K.  I got a 20K venture and did only the spend to get the bonus and got 3K @ 3 months.  I had a plat that turned into a qs wmc and did a 300>3300>8300>12300 on it  - the 5K bump was after I ran up to the cl limit ever few weeks, did a pif and did it again for almost 6 months.  ditto for the last 4K bump.  as others have chimed in on, C1 seems to like spending put through the products.  I have had next to zero use on the QS since 3/16 so it will be interesting to see what the next cli will be, if any.  good luck and post back with your results

You were running up to your credit limit ($8300) every few weeks meaning you put like $50k through the card in 6 months?  If that's the case I can certainly understand them throwing you a $5k CLI!

ha-ha omg lol, yeah I think I put 85K or so on the card in like a year, cannot remember the exact amount but I was more than the norm.  not all my spend by any means, I put some trips for 2 on the sucker and some business stuff.  I think my cli days for cards are over.  its fine, I have enough for a while.  need to stay off this site lol
