I applied for a Lowes acccount last night. Don't really need it but I've read that they have good starting limits and the card grows quickly. For that I considering it a utilization buster for the times that I want to carry higher balances than I usually do. I received a message to give them a call to complete the application. It was to late to do that last night so I did after I woke up this morning. Answered some questions then received a text to verify who I was. The rep put me on hold then came back about 20 seconds later and said I was approved for $2K. I asked if that could be increased a little so she transferred me to a different department. Went through the basic questions and was asked how much I was looking for. I origionally had $18K in mind. That would have given me a total of $100K in combined credit lines but I lowered it after the $2K approval. Went for $10K and got it. I believe I left some $ on the table but I can get that later this year. So now I'm just $8K away from my new goal and have a bunch of CLIs ahead of me this year!
