When’s the best time to pay off your card for a CLI?
As title says.
I opened my first card around 6 months ago, and since then have opened two more. Sitting around a 4-5k limit, but before opening my recent card I had a relatively high utilization each month (70-80% usually). I’ve always paid off my cards in full, and i’ve tried to pay it off right before and after the statement hits (always before the due date though). My CFU only recently successfully gave me a CLI, but it was only from 1100 to 1300. What’s the best timeline to have the companies successfully grant me a higher limit?
Would it be better to sit and wait for a CLI or open another card? I’ve been pre approved for a few C1 cards so i was considering that
Extra info:
Credit score: 813
income: 40k, but don’t pay rent & a student
Companies: Discover, Chase, Amex
Also AU’s on around 4-5 cards which have around a 55000 limit in total, so vantage reports my utilization as “not that high” but my fico does
