Thanks a lot for this video, this video is very different from a lot of credit card influencers. I’m one of those guys that love to hear about credit limits so thank you !!!

This has me retroactively shocked that C1 doubled my credit limit on the Venture X when I requested 3 months after getting it! Maybe it’s because I called in? I now feel like the luckiest man alive. Also this is the first credit card video that had me legit nervous some serious damage was about to be done to someone’s credit on-camera 😅
That’s funny! It’s difficult to get a read on Capital One’s decisions LOL. Big congrats on the double limit. That’s solid. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment 🥰
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful to watch you go through the process. I’m about to apply for CLI’s for my Discover It Cad, BIU and Navy Federal More Rewards Cards. Let’s see what happens for me.
I requested a LOWERING of my MGM branded Mastercard. Since I go to Vegas often enough that my rooms are comped, drinks, etc. I only use this card on Vegas related items, gas, food, a show and the like. Lowering the limit to only 3K prevents me from going nuts and contemplating staying another week or doing something stupid. Just enough credit to have a great time for a few days and go home. It DOES throw them off a bit when you call and tell them you want to lower your limit. It took an agent, a supervisor and a search through the rule book to get it done, but it can be done.
Thanks so much 🥰 Yeah, a lot of card issuers soft pull for credit line increases nowadays, but freezing your credit is a surefire way to ensure you don't get a hard pull!
I would have absolutely died laughing if you ended the video on, “Do these new limits matter, No”. End. 😂😂😂 Ohhh The CJ disrespect!! Ohh the Alice internship!! Ohh the movie/museum esque look to those cards while they rotate! Oh the limits!! This was an amazing video Josh!
Random question: you got a video on airline miles cards and which are the best? Thinking of getting a Delta one for the miles benefit but not sure if worth it.
@@joshua.butler thank you, just watched your Built application video and was floored at the initial denial. Understanding how the credit system works is something we need to take seriously, so thank you for your content. Congratulations on the new baby!
It's challenging trying to keep track of the intricacies of the credit system. Every lender has their own quirks. Thanks so much! Being a dad has been incredible so far.
@@joshua.butler I read somewhere that over $40k credit limit (cumulative) often triggers an Amex financial review. I am currently at $42k with Amex with three of their credit cards and I haven’t been selected for a financial review. Between you and me, I would like to go through one with Amex. Yes, I really have free time to go through one of those! Will be fun for me!!! Cheers 🥂
Ridiculous video! I bet if you would have let those other hard pulls go through, you applied for the second credit union card, AND if you wait the 30 days per card to increase the rest of your chase cards, you would easily be over 345k to edge out Stan! I’m working towards having 100k+ in personal credit line and 50k+ business so I’m never over 10% utilization on either side. I was crying when the rep was reading you the terms and you did the slow zoom in 😆 Gotta love CJ! I want you or Stan to hit 500k! Love your content. - Ivan
Oh man... if I went absolutely nuts and didn't care about hard pulls, you're right, I probably could've hit 345+. I was still a little hesitant in asking for too much lol. But now 500k is the goal, so let's see if we can hit it!!! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for being here, Ivan. 😍
Awesome video Josh!! Dang, you really made out like a bandit with those CLIs! Appreciate the shoutout - I probably need to do a CL update video soon since there've been so many changes since my last one! And poor CJ, that's all I have to say 🤣🤣🤣. Congrats on being a new dad! Alice is beautiful, and it's nice to see you back to making videos!!
Stanley!!! Thanks so much bro. I think we’d all love to see a new credit line video from you 😍 I’m really grateful to have Alice…she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me!
I have two freedom flex cards because I product changed my chase slate over to a freedom flex. It's generally smart to apply for a new freedom card before doing this so that you can take advantage of the welcome offer. If I would have product changed my slate to the freedom flex earlier, it would have prevented me from applying for my second freedom flex because Chase does not allow new applications for the card once you already have it. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@joshua.butler thanks for the info. Very informative. I’m going to try getting my limits raised too after seeing this but first I’ll need to freeze my credit.
This is a really cool video! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'll take your advice to not try this at home, at least until I get my income up haha
Hello, Josh. I was totally unaware Chase removed the Hard Pull for CLIs. Does it make a difference how you request the CLI? Some banks will hard pull you if you call in and speak with a rep, but won't hard pull you if you request the CLI in the app. Thank you.
Hey! As far as I’m aware, it doesn’t matter how you request it. It’s always a good idea to freeze your credit to prevent any unwanted surprises, however.
I originally had 11k on my CFF which requested a credit line decrease to 5k back in may this year as I am adding an AU that I can't fully trust financially. I am near 100% utilization right now as I still have half a year of 0% Apr and just tried requesting the CL increase. With the same income provided as my original application, no luck to even going back to the original 11k limit. They probably don't like to see such high utilization before the request 😂
Interesting situation! Thanks for sharing it. I'll make sure to include this type of information in future videos. Chase doesn't allow for spend limits for authorized users, but some other card issuers DO have this feature...Amex being one of those issuers. You'd think Chase would have this seemingly simple feature, but 🤷♀️. It would have been nice for you to have been able to set a spending limit rather than having to reduce your credit line. And yeah, you're right, they probably aren't approving the increase due to the utilization %.
Does this affect your ability to sign up for new credit cards as you are pretty much at almost 2x credit limit for your annual income? I heard banks do not like to extend new credit to customers if they already have credit that is over 50% of annual income.
Banks will typically have a maximum limit they’re willing to extend you based on your credit profile and income. However, I wouldn’t be concerned about this because they generally allow you to pull available credit from your cards in order to open a new one if you’re at that maximum. For instance, when I was younger and opened my second Bank of America card, my first card had a $26k limit. In order for them to let me open the second card, they made me pull $4k of available credit from the first card to put towards the second card.
It's not really possible to have too much available credit. However, like I mentioned in another comment reply, credit issuers may have caps in how much available credit THEY are willing to offer you. If you reach their cap, they will typically allow you to pull available credit from one of your other cards issued by them.
No, in general, available credit will only be beneficial. Credit issuers may have caps in how much available credit THEY are willing to offer you. If you reach their cap, they will typically allow you to pull available credit from one of your other cards issued by that issuer.
Hey Josh! GREAT Video and Awesome Information! I am curious tho... we see your incoming but what is your CREDIT SCORE sitting at? I have been trying to RAISE my limit on my Hilton Honors Amex with no avail. 🤬🤬 #theyStingy And I have 2 Business Amex's with them! smdh ANY SUGGESTIONS?
That's a great question. If I had a $1500 credit limit, I would probably request that it be doubled or tripled. This will depend on your credit history and income, however. It's possible for them to make a counter offer if they can't increase your limit to what you had requested. They may require a hard pull for credit line increase requests over a certain amount. If you want to avoid a hard pull, make sure to freeze your credit before making the request.
@@joshua.butler I've held two Chase cards for approximately 3 years now and had never requested a credit line increase, despite intending to do so for a while. After watching this video and a few similar ones, I decided to try it for my CSP card using the Chase app, resulting in a $9K increase. I didn't plan on doing the same for my Freedom Unlimited card initially, but since these requests don't involve a hard credit check, I decided to give it a shot the next day. To my surprise, I received a $5K increase on my Freedom Unlimited card.
Nope! I froze my credit to make sure I didn't get any hard pulls. If anything, my new higher limits will help my credit slightly by keeping my utilization even lower than it was.
@@rounaksethia5497 oh haha whoops! Yeah, it’s one of the quickest ways to increase your score since it reduces utilization. It is much more impactful when your total available credit is lower. For instance, going from 1k available credit to 100k will have a much greater impact than going from 100k to 200k.
It was in the 800s I believe. I cover my credit history stats in the watch me apply video: The Capital One Venture X // Watch Me Apply! ruclips.net/video/d1msyN42_CQ/видео.html
I prefer points and miles, but if I can get 5% cash back in a particular category, that’s hard to beat! I use my US Bank Cash+ for 5% back on utilities/gym and my Abound Platinum for 5% back on gas.
This was the video I couldn’t stop watching despite the fact I cringed the whole time as you already had more than enough rope to hang yourself. Brilliantly creative storytelling on this journey.

You mentioned your credit freeze several times. What is process for freezing your credit?
What's the easiest and most convenient way to freeze/unfreeze can it b done manually by us online? Vs having to call in etc
Yes you can go to the individual credit bureau websites and freeze/unfreeze immediately. You have to make an account with each website.
Wait, I thought the Verizon Visa only has a max limit of 10K? Interesting..I have it too with a 4K limit.
