Providian Visa Credit Limit Increase Question

Post subject: Providian/WashMu Visa CLI


Since Washington Mutual bought Providian, does anyone know how long they wait to give automatic CLI? I've had my account for 4 months, have carried a balance between $1,500 and $2,800, except for this month (paid off). I have paid much more than the min required each month. My current CL is $3,000. Thoughts? Your experience with Providian CLI's?

MOST credit cards won't give a CLI for 6 or 9 or 12 months

GE MONEY BANK (like WALMART "STORE" CARD) is 3 or 4 months

Usually about one year with Providian after opening your account. After that, they normally give out increases every six months. Now that Washington Mutual is in control, that could change.

Thanks for the feedback. Just asking because this card has be lowest CL of any I have by several thousand and I did not know if they have a reputation for being stingy or not.
