Request a Credit Limit Increase on Your Comenity Card Using DoNotPay

When you are building a good credit history, requesting a credit limit increase on your Comenity credit card is a great way to start. Increasing your credit limit doesn't just increase the amount available to spend. It can boost your credit score and show other lenders that you are a safety risk. Whether you are improving your credit score or just looking for a little extra spending power, DoNotPay can help you request a credit limit increase.

How Do Credit Limits Work?

When you successfully apply for a line of credit with any bank or vendor, you are approved for financing up to a specific amount. The maximum permitted balance is your card's credit limit. Creditors offer different limits, terms, and interest rates depending on the company, your credit history, and other factors.

Since not all creditors offer the same terms, you are likely to have a different credit limit for an American Express card than for a Discover or Capital One card. Similarly, each credit card company has its own process for requesting a credit limit increase. Citi has a simple online form, while Credit One automatically reviews your account on a regular basis and offers increases automatically based on your eligibility.

Requesting a credit limit increase is different for vendor cards, like Apple, Amazon, and Wayfair. Although vendor credit cards are usually provided by a third-party financing company such as Comenity or Synchrony Bank, you must often submit your request through the vendor. For example, for an Apple card, you create a request message through the Wallet app.

About Comenity Bank

Comenity Bank is a financing company that provides co-branded credit cards for specific vendors and services. Unlike more traditional banks like Wells Fargo and Bank of America, Comenity Bank provides targeted credit cards that can only be used for certain expenses.

A Comenity credit card through Wayfair, for example, can only be used to purchase products through Wayfair. Comenity Bank has an online portal that allows cardholders to check their balance, make payments, or request a credit limit increase.

What Comenity Considers for a Credit Limit Increase

When you apply for a credit limit increase through Comenity, they will consider a number of factors, including:

• Age of your account
• Recent credit limit increases or decreases
• Income and employment
• Housing costs
• Credit score and report
• Payment history
• Card use rate and frequency
• Inquiries on a credit report

When To Request a Comenity Credit Limit Increase

The best times to apply for a credit limit increase are:

• When you get a new job
• When you get a raise
• When your credit is in good standing
• When your payment history is excellent

If you are not currently in good financial standing, you should wait to request a credit limit increase. A hard inquiry on your credit report can actually make your credit worse. Instead, wait until your credit report and income levels reflect the good financial health.
