ByHow to Get a Grain Credit Limit Increase With the Help of DoNotPay
If you use credit cards or a line of credit responsibly, you'll see many benefits. The more responsible a credit user you are, the more likely it will be that you can get a higher credit limit. Higher credit limits can let you spend more, reduce the chance that you'll max out your credit card, and can potentially help improve your credit score due to a better credit utilization ratio. If you are interested in requesting a , DoNotPay has an easy solution.
Overview of the Grain App
Grain is an app that provides a line of credit based on your cash flow, not your credit score. That means even those who've had difficult credit histories can potentially receive credit based on their current financial situation and income. You only need a tablet or smartphone and a checking account, and you will simply sync your existing debit card.
Grain will analyze your cash flow and pre-approve you for a line of credit. You'll then be able to manage your credit by transferring from your revolving line of credit to your checking account.
Can You Request a Grain Credit Limit Increase?
Most banks and creditors have different procedures and policies for issuing credit limit increases, and your circumstances will influence a credit limit decision, but typically requests are handled similarly.
Who Can Request Higher Credit Limits for a Line of Credit?
Banks will consider many factors when determining if you will be automatically offered a credit limit increase or if they will approve your request for a credit limit.
Some of the factors that banks or creditors use include:
| Payment history | Pay your bills on time each month |
| Credit utilization ratio | Pay down your bills to lower your credit usage |
| Income | Grain specifically factors cash flow |
| Credit score | Grain does not use your credit score as a determining factor |
| Hard inquiries | Multiple inquiries on your credit report will reflect poorly |
In most cases, anyone who has recently opened a credit card or line of credit has a secured credit card or has recently had credit limit changes (increases or decreases), will be ineligible for a credit limit increase.

Factors to Consider Before Requesting a Credit Limit Increase for Grain
While receiving a credit limit increase can be beneficial; it's important to make sure you are in the proper position to request one.
Finances - If you have struggled to pay your Grain payments or other bills, it may be wise to wait. However, if you can make your payments on time and are not struggling with your bills, requesting a credit limit can help improve your credit utilization ratio and benefit you in the long run.
Income - Grain takes cash flow into account rather than your credit score. If you've recently taken a lower-paying job or lost your job and have no income, now may not be the right time to request a credit limit increase with Grain. However, if you've received a raise or taken a higher-paying job, you may have a better chance of receiving the increase.
DoNotPay recognizes that you know your situation best, and if you believe you are ready for a credit limit increase, you can do it yourself or let DoNotPay handle it quickly.
