wildrage2 what # did you call? and how long have you had your card? and is this your first increase? sorry so many questions but i have had my card a year next month and i have had only one increase which was at my 6 month mark (it didn't show up until the 7th month statement). again sorry for so many questions.

Just got off the phone with Hooters. $500 CLI there. They made me wait quite a while, but there was no hard inquiry.

I opened up my Capital One last December and got my credit steps increase in March. Now, 6 months later, I got the nerve to call the backdoor number.

I talked to a really cool guy, and asked him for an increased. He said "Let me look up your account....whoa it says right here you are eligable for a $1500 increase, is that good enough for you."

I wish all CS could be cool like that!

Way to go, cowboy!

Kisses.

I'm not too happy with Target. I'm still at a $200.00 limit. This measley sum doesn't contribute to the 35% utilization factor as much as my other lines, so I'm going to simplify my life and get rid of this bad boy if I do not receive an increase next month.

Wow, I didn't know that this thread was 45 pages long!

I know my sentiments exactly all CS should be this cool

I just love some cap 1.

I know...

Thank you Yoyo!!!!!!

Congrats to you too!!!!!!!! It wasnt even 3 months yet and you got it!

Man I called Orchard (back door number) Had the first card for amount 14 months and got a CLI of $100 in April so today I got another $100 asked if I could get more..she said that's all the system gave me...took it at $15 pop. I haven't used both cards in months...so I guess giving me a CLI 3months after the first one is ok.

Called Orchard (back door number) to see if I could get a CLI on the 2nd Orchard card...had this one since 1/08 issued with a CL of $500, CLI in 7/08 $600 today 9/08 $700. The first man I spoke with talked me out of a CLI asked me to call back in 60 days...I called again the the lady was glad to give me the $100 for $10. Hey I'll take it. I don't even use both Orchard cards...have a balance of the 1st one $128 2nd $156.

Hmmmmm

Great, I'm sooooo happy for you!!! Good luck w/ future increases!!! Way to go RivasGlo:laugh:

I cannot stop smiling Capital One has never failed me!

I noticed a few days ago that my 6 months was up for a CLI on my Cap One card. The last CLI I got was 03/06/2008. I decided to wait a few days for my statement to cut... So, I decided to call the "backdoor number" and I got a very nice lady named Hillary and basically told her that I would like to know if I qualified for a CLI bc I only have $115 and need more available to have some spending power and incase of an emergency. She placed me on hold and I figured I would get $300-$500 and she bust out with your approved for a CLI of $2000 making it a total of $3250! Greatest feeling ever Ive had the card since 06/2007!

This really helps out with utilization bcuz I did a balance transfer at 3.99% about two weeks ago that left me with only $115 available credit!!!! The statement before that was PIF and left to report with a zero balance!

Hello, if you are building your credit and only have your two new cards..i would wait six months. Good luck and welcome to the board

Thanks for the advice will do. This site is great and everyone is so freindly. I am learning alot.
