Post subject: Credit Increase


Hi,

I just got my 0% APR card from Chase. This is applicable for Balance Transfers until 15 months. Here is the question.

They have given me a lmit of $10K. Now I am feeling I need more limt on this like up to $25K. I just called the bank and cheked with agent if they can incares my credit limti to atleasr $25K.

She checked with the cerdit department and they said it is quite possible, but they still have to run my credit report again. I do nto wan tto do that since ther is a small possiblity that they will come back and say We will give you $20K which will not help me.


Any one has any experice with chase.

I have a good crdit history and my FICO is around 749.

$10,000 to $25,000 is pushing it

My CHASE UNITED VISA is my lowest credit limit at $10,000

$25k will help you but $20K won't? That doesn't make sense to me.

An inquiry will lower your score a bit whether you're approved for an increase or not. An increase will raise your score, all other things being equal.
