Well, my Max Cash Preferred card escalated quickly!
I got the card 6.5 months ago with a starting CL of $10k.
Labor day weekend I hit them up for a CLI and didn't hear anything back until I got a letter yesterday about my TU report being locked, so I unlocked it and called them back to let them know I unlocked it.
I wasn't really thinking about it, but it turned into a hard pull of my TU report, so bummer.
I checked today and I got a $15k CLI to $25k!
I guess taking a HP on TU was worth it, I was at 0/12 inquiries, so no real harm done.
Back to gardening until Late February 2025.

Too bad about the hard inquiry, but that CLI is a significant amount. Probably worth the hard pull.

I'd say it was worth it.
congrats. 🎉🎈🍾
did you ask for $15k or was it an open ended request?

Yeah, there was no warning on CLI request form, and I forgot to ask when I called in, but I should have known it would be a HP based on them wanting TU unlocked.
I probably would have not requested if I knew there would be a HP, but getting a $15k CLI was worth it, completely unexpected!
@Snook_on_the_Linewrote:did you ask for $15k or was it an open ended request?
Open ended, the CLI request on the web site doesn't have a field for it, and they didn't ask when I called in after getting the letter about TU being locked.

No idea.
The typical thing most people do with this card is set up their utilities and internet/cable service to charge to it, then leave it in the sock drawer.
Back to gardening until Late February 2025.

Sorry about the HP's, but I'd say it was definitely worth it. Congratulations on your awesome CLI!
