How Long Do You Have to Wait for a Credit Card Limit Increase

The last time BOA gave me and CLI was 6 months and 5 days ago. I called and asked for an internal CLI (The CLI increase that does not pull your credit report) and was told that not enough time has passed since my last increase. I always pay my balances in full every month and have never been late with them or anyone else.

I presume things are changing, because I use to be able to get a CLI with BOA like clock work every 6 months.

Why don't you give it another week? Or try it online in a couple of days. It'll be soft too.. If they need to do a hard pull, you'll get a warning and can cancel your request.

I don't think things have changed... I hit their CLI button a week ago and got an increase, and it was 7 months after my last increase... So wait another week and try again!

What is your current CL? I would imagine at a certain level they slow down with the auto CLI's.

I was told I would have to wait atleast nine months before I would be eligible for a CLI. Not sure if thats just for the initial increase or standrad procedure there.
