Additionally, to improve my credit, I request a CLI with all my card issuers every six months, today I got a limit increase to $35k on my Amex Blue card. When paired with little or no balance it really helps your credit utilization and for the credit bureaus to see you regularly getting approved for limit increases. Although, if the issuer wants to run a hard credit check for the increase, it’s likely not worth it.  |
I was told $5k was the limit by New Century, but the manager cleared $6k for a down payment.
I wasn't given a limit at Beverly Hills, but I've gotten several cars from them so they might have made an exception.
No fees for either.
