4 Tips on How to Increase Your Credit Card Limit (and How to Request per Bank)
- By Venus Zoleta
- April 22, 2020
Asking the bank to raise your credit limit isn’t always a bad move—unless your only intention is to splurge on things you can’t afford. A credit card limit increase boosts your spending power, which is extremely helpful in preparing for the unexpected, like a financial emergency or a crisis like the current COVID-19 pandemic. It helps you cover your needs without having to worry about maxing out your card. With an increased credit limit, you can also meet your family’s growing needs. When you add supplementary credit cards to your account, you share just one credit line with all cards under your name. So getting a credit card limit increase makes sense in this situation.
