WOW! On a hot streak! Called Citi Cards using the telephone numbers (made the calls back to back over a five minute period) on the back of the credit cards and received a credit line increase on my Citi Diamond Preferred Mastercard and my Citi Forward Visa. Today I called the First National Bank Omaha and requested Vision Visa Signature credit line increase. All credit line increases were soft pulls (or no pull). Also, they did it where they took annual income, housing status and monthly payment amount and submitted it where if the computer would authorize an increase then they would add it to my existing credit line or I could request a hard inquiry and a manual review. I declined all manual reviews and hard inquires and took the computer recommended increases. FNBO gave me a $5,000 increase. Soooo ... not to shabby for a few minutes of time. Good credit is a blessing. Still on a hot streak, Discover IT Card gave me an increase with no hard inquiry, asked me for housing costs, total income and if I rent or own then submitted the CL Increase request with no dollar amount and the computer forwarded a suggested amount without a hard inquiry and I took it. The hot streak goes on... decided to request a CLI on my JC Penney account and they gave me a $2,500 increase (soft or no pull). Glad I decided to reward myself.

Still HOT and obtained a CLI of $4,000 from USAA on my American Express Card (hard inquiry). The credit card department stated at this time all accounts are reviewed every six months for CLI's and rate reductions but under the new Federal Card Act few auto CLI's are granted and all other requests are hard inquiries. In my case the computer on a hard inquiry offered me $1,000 CLI an the CR offered to work with a credit analyst who manually reviewed the account using the same already pulled hard inquiry and gave me the CLI I asked for.

Way to go. My Walmart account was opened 12/7/2011 and I am still waiting on them to show me some love. I have been consistent. I asked for a CLI a bit prematurely I think. I got a letter stating not enough experience at the current credit limit. I am just going to wait it out.

I spoke with someone at Capital One a few weeks ago and they assured me that the credit steps revolve. The rep stated that after the step to 750, you pay on time for 5 months and wait two months and the limit increases by 500 (if that was your initial limit). I guess he lied to me. He also stated that there was not a maximum amount. Maybe you should call them. I am not due for my first increase until around December. I will post if I get a second increase.


I had Capital One for 2 years before they gave me a CLI, HOWEVER it was a nice one. Starting limit $500.00 2 years ago and they increased me to $2000.00 about 4 months ago.

Today I called Kohl's to request a CLI. I have had the card since May 2012 with a CL of 300. They gave me an increase of 200 so that puts me at 500. I'm glad they are finally allowing CLI's over the phone.


I started with a $300 credit limit as well. Called after 5 months and they gave me $700.00 more. Glad I'm at $1000.00 on that card now.
