lovebug5 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 ...I logged into my Hooters account today just for poops and giggles, because I'm obsessive and tend to login to my accounts at least once a day. Much to my surprise, my CL had been upped by $300.So I've officially had a CLI from Hooters. They also lowered my APR a few points. Even though the CLI was nowhere near what I would've liked it to have been, it was still a CLI. Touch 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustaTexan Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 LB I'm the same way. Congrats! What was your limit before the CLI? How were your utilization and habits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieR Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm letting everyone know Lovebug is letting people cop a free feel for the rest of the day in celebration of her Hooters CLI.....Kristy, are the servers prepared for the onslaught???

lovebug5 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 LB I'm the same way. Congrats! What was your limit before the CLI? How were your utilization and habits? $1,000 CL to start and now at $1,300. First month the card was charged up about 25% and PIF'd before the statement close. Each subsequent month the card has had a few recurring online charges and PIF'd prior to each statement close. Received the card in the fall of last year - this is my first CLI with them. I've been complaining about it so someone, somewhere was listening. I'm letting everyone know Lovebug is letting people cop a free feel for the rest of the day in celebration of her Hooters CLI.....Kristy, are the servers prepared for the onslaught???You're SO jealous of my supersized bosom.

ctfudge&bankofC-ville Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 That's great. I know that if you treat your Merrick/Hooters right, they increase the credit limit regularly by about $300 each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovebug5 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 That's great. I know that if you treat your Merrick/Hooters right, they increase the credit limit regularly by about $300 each time. After reading some of the "success" stories on here about people receiving CLI's from Hooters within 3 months of having the card, I was seriously thinking that I was doing something wrong with them...But now that I've received my CLI, I know what's realistic and what isn't with Merrick. Unless, of course, Merrick only grants huge and quick CLI's to people who have extremely high utilization and are therefore credit suckers. Which I am proud to say, I am not. Well I now know how to get one too.......so not for long!True, true. I wonder if the CLI means that my Hooters magazine will now feature topless waitresses? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the CLI was nowhere near what I would've liked it to have been, it was still a CLI. Touch 'em.Well, last week I was envying you the Hooters CLI. Except for Cap One no one has yet given me a CLI, though I'm close to 6 months on most of them. My app spree was back in December/January. Well, lo and behold I pull my report at lunch and Hooters has given me a $300 increase. Same story as yours, I started at $1,000, now they've upped me to $1300. Now I have some hopes for my Juniper B&N card and my BP Chase Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovebug5 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've received the obligatory 3 month CLI from Capital One and HSBC, but nothing since...And now I've received my little bitty CLI from Hooters. Next up are WaMu and Juniper. I'm not expecting much from Juniper because I rarely use the card. But WaMu? They'd better show me some tantric love.

lovebug5 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've yet to receive one from them...But this month is my 6th statement, I believe. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there was one. Dang, I only got the 3 month increase and "I want Cap One to be number one in my wallet" increase. I didn't get HSBC until January and the first bill would have been February, so I probably only have 4 months with them.I wonder can you ask Juniper for an increase?

I'm still patiently waiting for them to show me some much deserving love. They will come around, I think. As far as Juniper, I haven't requested a CLI yet. I don't really use my card at all, so being bumped doesn't make sense. I have an $1,800 CL with them and have literally used the card three times - each purchase was about $100. LOL!!OK OK OK...first it was the "almost in the 700 club!" then the "I made it" now its "I'm getting CLIs!" Whoopdy do!I'm just kidding, congrats LB! Keep up the good work.Why thank you, Skot! Right when I get within tasting distance of the 700 club BAM !!!!! another old neg. TL shows up.....It must feel good Don't worry, TMac. You'll get that negative off and soon enough you'll be a member of the club. This whole process is so unpredictable - I could be out tomorrow.

I also dont like to make a BIG payment.. .I make a bunch of little payments. It's easier to see money leave my checking account slower.. LOL.My hooters card keeps going down in interest every month or so. I think its about 3-4% lower than when I got it.. but it still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
