Re: Capital One Credit Limit Question

My cap one has been opened since 2/12 $300>$500 (6 mo auto cli) and there it has stayed.

 

I've hit the luv button several times with no luck.

 

I recently tried the EO and still not got no luv, even though I have cards will substantially higher limits and have never had a late payment on the cap one card

I guess they just don't like me Smiley Sad

Re: Capital One Credit Limit Question

Card 1 - (1999) Starting CL $750 IIRC ->  $1200 from auto cli sometime in 2001 -> $2200 from auto cli sometime in 2004 -> Luv button denial 1/2014 -> Luv button success to $7200.

 

Card 2 - (10/2000) Starting CL $1000 -> $1500 from auto cli at same time in 2001 -> Luv button denial 2/2014 Have not tried again.

 

Card 3 - (5/2001) Starting CL $700 -> Never had a cli. Closed 11/2013 by me because of low limit and $5 monthly fee they would not remove.

 

Card 4 - (12/2001) Starting CL $1250 -> Never had a cli. Probably will be on chopping block next year because of $5 monthy fee they won't perm. waive.

 

These were my first cards post BK in 98. I never really asked for CLI until recently because I didn't know I could...

the wife started at 1250 and has had her card longer than I have and theyve never raised it for some reason. Her credit score is pretty much the same as mine.

Re: Capital One Credit Limit Question

Hopefully more folks will chime in, but the trends I'm seeing are:

1. If you started with a low CL, you can fight your way up to ~$5k over time. But its a fight.

2. Once you make $5k, it'll likely be a struggle to go higher. Which isn't very different from when you had a low CL. $5k seems to be an average "high".
