How Do Credit Card Increases Work?

It is important to note that the decision to increase your limit on your secured credit card boils down to your card insurer's policy. Some credit card limits remain the same, notwithstanding your history with them.

Even if your secured card does not offer you an option to increase your limit or change to an unsecured account, it may assist you in building your credit card overtime to qualify for an unsecured card from a different lender. All you have to do is ensure that all your payments are made on time, and credit usage is low.

Who Can Get a Higher Credit Limit?

Whereas every cardholder has different guidelines, there are some general guidelines you should follow to increase your chances of getting a credit card limit increase. Any individual who wishes to increase their credit limit on their secured card should:

1. Have Good Credit Card Habits

A secured credit card offers you a chance to showcase responsible credit behavior. You can do this by always paying on time and not using more than 30% of your credit line. A good rule of thumb to follow is to never, at any given time, let your balance roll over to the next month.

2. Maintain a Good Credit Score

If you plan to request an increase in the limit on your secured card, you have to show a solid credit history.

3. Income

When deciding whether to increase your limit or not, your card insurer will assess your income to ensure you can afford to pay your debts.

How To Request a Secured Credit Card Increase by Yourself

There are three ways to increase your secured credit card limit by yourself:

1. Making your request online

This is done through an online bank or credit account. The dropdown menu on the website should give you an option such as "credit limit increase" that directs you to provide some personal information that can be used by the lender to evaluate if you qualify for a secured credit card increase.

2. Making your request over the phone

You can also directly call the customer service number of your card insurer and request a limit increase over the phone. You will be required to provide some basic information about your financial profile.

3. Through a letter of invitation
