After a long journey of rebuilding my credit, I was finally approved for the following cards this month:
Walmart - $600
Carnival - $500
Chevron - $350
Shell - $300
Brylane Home - $250
JCP - $200
Best Buy HSBC - $100 (All I can afford with this low limit is a dvd... maybe I can call and sweet talk somebody for an increase!)
My plan is to make sure that all cards report a zero balance. I applied in the same month so that they all age together. I don't plan on applying for any more credit this year. What is an appropriate amount of time to wait before I request a limit increase? Thanks in advance for all responses!
As these are all new accounts, I would wait at least 6 months before requesting CLIs. This will allow you to show a good period of time of responsible use and will allow you to recover most, if not all, of the points you lost for the new accounts.
