MillerFam Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 It just goes to show how quirky Some of these C/C companies are. I recently bought a new house (Yeah me) I Called Hooters to change my billing address. BTW I Have had Hooters since December with a $750 limit. I use it very rarely making just above Minimum payments before they are due. I have never PIF and have always had a balance. After speaking with the CSR she asked me If I needed anything else I said, Playing dumb.."How do CLI's work? Are they done periodically or do we have to request them"? She says she could check for me. I asked if they pull a Hard inquiry, She told me only if the computer asks for additional info. I said OK. She said I will enter your info into the CLI data base.... about 20 seconds later she says congratulations you qualify for a $1250 increase. No inquiry no additional info needed. 30 min later I logged on to my account the CLI was there. I have heard so many terrible stories. I guess it depends on the day and person you get. BTW she was extrtemely friendly....It's hit or miss these days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itrev82 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I just got another automatic increase on my Hooter's card... Started at 1000, went to 1200 a few months ago, and then to 1500 this month. I haven't had the card a year yet, almost.. I will hit 12 months with this card in June/July.

Amerikaner83 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 he was making reference to itrev82's EX FICO of 666. Took me awhile to get it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betam4x Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 lol, first thing i noticed. Funny thing is, I tried to temporarily remove EX's security freeze today to let a lender pull, and they want to CHARGE me to do it. Screw that, i'll let em rot. I'm finding that a lot of lenders will negotiate which CRA to pull if you push the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isislc Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I just logged in today and found a CLI on my Hooters card. It's only for $200 but oh well, it's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isislc Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 How long have you had that card?I've had it 7 months now, just got my bill via email too, so it's 7th billing period that it shows up. So we can surely say that the Hooters card does give an automatic CLI after 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did get a CLI with Seamiles and it's definitely been 7 statements already. Even my transrisk score went up 40 points and nada. Left a reportable balance of $80 this time just to cover bases and still nada. PIF'd the day after the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebug5 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 If the CLI comes around on the 7th billing cycle, I should see it in May - seeing as how I received the card in October. No CLI as of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefdr Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I logged on today and saw I had been given another bump, up to $1800 CL now. It was just increased to $1400 back in Jan I think; looks like CLI's every 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still at the same measly $1,000 I was approved with and the same outrageous APR. I'm firing them in October if they don't start showing me any love.

eyeball Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I applied for a Hooters Card and I got the "we will contact you in 7-10 days" What does this mean? I noticed they did a hard pull yesterday. Does it mean they declined me? Should I call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7-10 day response seems to be standard with them...I received it, called and was approved. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(of course I did carried high balances on it during maternity leave), but I have never been late or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
