Citi Credit Line Increase?

[Anonymous]

Is there a period of time I should wait to ask for a cli on a newer card?  3mos 6mos 1yr?

Define newer.

You can get CLI on activation, and then every 6 months after.

card was approved in 3/07

I am guessing you will have to wait.. did you hit the CLI button? Just don't fill out the form or it will cost you an inq.

yes there is...luv button...but fear and air keeps me from pressing.

[Tuscani]

Just try.. if you get the form you know you have to wait.

I was wondering this as well. I got approved for it last July as my first non-secured CC. I was happy with the limit of $1,200 I got. Come April, I applied for an increase and got $2,200.

3 days ago I figured I'd give it another try. I clicked on the link for increase and it said something like "Congratulations we can give you another $1000 ($3,200). Your credit was not pulled, would you like to accept?" So I took it. I clicked the link again because I was curious and then it made me fill out all the info such as annual income, blah blah blah. So I didn't go through with that. Definitely wasn't 6 months apart when I got two increases though.

Click credit line increase from time to time to see if they will offer you an increase without even pulling your credit!

I also got a citi card (in the mail yesterday), should I apply for a credit increase? Will they pull my credit? How do I know if they pull my credit or not?

You can try. They told me not enough history. YMMV. They also sent me a letter apologizing for not being able to increase the line.
