Nice cards, you go!

I agree with Meya...you got some big dogs in your wallet now...get rid of those pups ( 1st Premier bank)

From me:
How come everyone else is getting credit limits increases except for me? I am jealous, I pay my bills to you on time and I believe that I am ready for a limit increase. This is the lowest limit that I have ever had. This is why I can not hardly use the card, I just use cash because my limit is too low. Can someone look into this for me and grant me some type of limit increase? I will gladly appreciate it. Thanks and Happy New Years!

HAS ANYONE gotten a CLI on a target redcard on your request...Im not talking the auto CLI im talking...you asked a rep and they gave a CLI...let me know.. Im really ready to call for a CLI from them.

Target response:
Please accept my apology, we're not able to manually process requests for credit limit increases on Target Credit Card accounts.

Your account will be reviewed every month for a possible increase. If your credit limit is adjusted, you will see a change on your monthly billing statement and the information will be updated on our automated phone system.

If you have more questions, please call us at (888) 755-5856 and we can help you. When asked for your Target REDcard account number, press #, #, # to speak to a representative. We're here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thanks and Happy New Year to you too!

Cracked my face huh? Well let me just pick my face up from the floor. Thought for today, "Target increase limits when they get good and ready."

So my Flexible Rewards Card stmt closed today... So I logged online to view my stmt... Finally!!!!! Some love from Chase... I got a CLI of $300 making it $1600!!!! My last CLI was 05/2007 (NO JOKE) but ive only had the card since 01/2007!

My CLI's went...
01/2007 $500 > 02/2007 $800 > 05/2007 $1300 > 04/2008 $1600
(this was my first cc ever

)

I had been trying since like 10/2007 to get an increase... All I got were hard inquiries!!!

**hjm331** · April 15th, 2008, 02:02 PM

I can't get a CLI even if my life depended on it! lol

**Meya** · April 15th, 2008, 03:38 PM

Way to go RivasGlo!

**Eric** · April 18th, 2008, 07:22 PM

I called Macy's today for a CLI and the rep name John said immediately I can give you an extra $400 today...to bring me to $1k CL...then he said were you looking for a higher limit, Im like sure then he asked how much and I said make it $1200...he had me on hold for a min and came back and said I got you $1200! Nice customer service and he was in the US!

**Meya** · April 18th, 2008, 09:42 PM

Way to go, maybe I should have pushed harder than the $400 they offered me...lol

**pamela2** · April 19th, 2008, 11:39 AM

nice job everyone on the credit limits

**Meya** · April 21st, 2008, 08:16 PM

Weeeellll, I almost put my foot in my mouth. I called Avenue today and asked for a limit increase, while on hold I was looking at my index card where I keep reports on all cli's and the dates. I forgot that I just received one in 1/12/2008, so I thought ewww wrong time. The rep came back on the phone with the sad "Mrs Meeeyaaa" I said, "I know, I forgot I just received one in January and I am calling in too soon, I will try........" "Oh no, that is not the problem" she said, I was just letting you know that the computer was only letting me give you a $400 increasse" LADY, GIVE IT HERE!

Wahoooo, that brings me to $2580 with them, what an odd number, but a nice increase for today! Now that is what I call "EVEN"

Congratulations Meya on your increase!

Today I checked my capital one account because my third statement closed with the steps program. I received another increase of $500 and the second one this month, new credit limit $1500.
