When it comes to Chase you apply for a new card that you don’t really plan on ever using because credit limits when getting new cards are higher than applying for a CLI. Then after you get the card you call Chase and ask to transfer the credit limit from the new card to the card you wanted a CLI on

If someone is working on lowering their credit card balance, how long after it's been paid off, should they apply for a credit-limit increase? Could they apply immediately after paying off the balance-as I understand it, credit utilization doesn't have memory?
@MarkReese
@MarkReese 3 ай бұрын
I'm not aware of any required waiting period. You could go for it right away, though I'd personally wait until the new $0 balance gets reported to my credit report, which occurs after the billing cycle close date with many issuers. That could lead to an increased credit score.

I don't think so. Provided only a soft pull is needed from an existing lender, it should work per my understanding. I'm not 100% sure on this though.

Question: Should you update your income if it decreases? For example, I make around $50,000 a year, but I live at home and my parents' combined income is around $100,000 a year. I put $130,000 on applications since I do a lot of the shopping and they contribute. However, if I ever were to move out, should I then update my income to only $50,000 a year?

I'm so glad you posted this video. I'm trying to rebuild and not have any low limit cards. I would like to eventually have around 15k to 20k worth of credit. I would like to know if student loans would hurt your chances of getting a credit increase or higher limits? I don't have rent/mortgage because my home is paid off as well as my car.

How do you have so many credit cards? How does that effect your hard inquires on your report
@MarkReese
@MarkReese Ай бұрын
I've been doing this for ~ 11 years now. Inquiries only stay on your report for 2 years. Spacing applications out over time tends to help with keeping your score higher more consistently.

Hey Mark, I had a question. What is the purpose of using the Citi Custom Cash for only one specific category rather than multiple categories? I've been hearing about this card that the Custom Cash should only be used for category. Why is that? What would happen if you use it for multiple categories? Thanks for responses!
@RedRider1600
@RedRider1600 3 ай бұрын
The 5% only applies to 1 category, your highest spend category. Everything else only gets 1%. So why put anything else on that card when you have other cards that will give you 2, 3, 4, or 5%?
@MarkReese
@MarkReese 3 ай бұрын
That's because the card earns 5% in a single category (the one in which you spent the most in the current billing cycle). Outside of that one "top spend" category, everything else earns 1%, which is about as far from being maximized as possible. So, using the card for 1 category guarantees you earn 5%, and then you can add in other cards for other spend categories from there.

How do closed accounts (closed in good standing) affect your credit profile? I recently closed a couple of accounts with nearly maxed out utilization, while keeping my active revolving accounts closer to 10%. My credit score keeps rising a bit each month, but will I see a more dramatic score increase if I get those closed accounts closer to 0, or are they currently having no affect on my score aside from paying them on time each month?
@MarkReese
@MarkReese 2 ай бұрын
For the FICO scoring model, closed account in good standing still remain on your report (and get factored into your score) for up to 10 years. Source: www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/when-are-closed-accounts-deleted/ Why did you close cards with balances on them?

Hey i love your channel. Quick question, how do you know if a credit card has a maximum limit that you cannot surpass? Like is there a list somewhere that will let you know a limit ceiling for credit cards?? For example, my Sapphire Reserve has a $24,000 Limit, how much higher can i go??
@MarkReese
@MarkReese 3 ай бұрын
Glad you like the channel! That limit isn't known or specified to the public (if it exists). It's more based on credit score, payment history, income levels, debt levels, etc.

@MarkReese Thank you. I only had to do the limit transfer because Chase is being a little stingy with how much credit they wanna lend me. They gave me a measly $200 automatic increase around January, and when I asked for more recently, I got denied because "I just got an increase recently". I think they gave me a tiny increase on purpose, then used that as an excuse.
