Reaching Credit Limit

How can I raise my credit limit without asking?

How to get a credit limit increase without asking:

  1. Always pay all your bills on time.
  2. Pay off the card you want the higher limit on fully each month.
  3. Update your income on the credit card company’s website/app.
  4. Keep your account open for at least 6-12 months.

How often should you request a credit limit increase?

every 4-6 months

WalletHub, Financial Company
You can request a credit line increase every 4-6 months, or even more frequently. But your chances of being approved for an increase are best if you wait at least 6 months from when you opened your account or last requested a higher limit.

How much of a credit increase should I ask for?

10% to 25%

A good rule of thumb is to stick to around a 10% to 25% increase when you make your request. For example, if your current credit limit is $4,000, you might consider asking for a new limit as high as $5,000.
