| How To Get Credit Increase Chase |
Step 1: Be the Creditworthy Cinderella
Before you waltz into the metaphorical Chase ball, you need to prove you're a responsible borrower. Imagine Chase as a dragon guarding a treasure trove of credit. You need to convince this dragon that you're not here to hoard its gold (well, not all of it), but rather, a trustworthy knight who will use the credit wisely and slay the evil debt monster in no time. Here's how to impress the dragon:
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
- Be a Payment Punctuality Pro: This is rule number one, two, and three. Pay your bills on time, every time. No excuses, not even a dragon-induced internet outage (although, that would be a pretty good one).
- Keep your credit utilization ratio low: This fancy term basically means how much of your credit limit you're actually using. Aim for a utilization rate below 30%. Think of it as keeping the dragon happy by not maxing out your credit card and leaving it penniless (and potentially grumpy).
- Build a long and healthy credit history: The longer you've been responsibly managing credit, the better. This shows the dragon you're not a credit card newbie and can be trusted with more treasure (read: credit).
Step 2: Speak the Dragon's Language (a.k.a. Call Chase)
Now that you're practically a credit knight, it's time to pick up the phone and call Chase. You can find the customer service number on the back of your card, or search online. Be prepared to answer some questions, like:
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
- How much of an increase are you requesting? Be realistic and base your request on your income and creditworthiness. Don't ask for a king's ransom when you're a humble squire.
- What has your income been lately? If you've recently gotten a raise or started a new, higher-paying job, mentioning this could strengthen your case. Just don't brag like a dragon who just hoarded a mountain of gold.
Remember, be polite and professional. The customer service representative is the gatekeeper to the dragon's treasure, so treat them with respect.
QuickTip: Slow scrolling helps comprehension.

Step 3: Patience is a Virtue (Especially When Dealing with Dragons)
Once you've submitted your request, be patient. The dragon might take a few days or even weeks to decide your fate. In the meantime, don't spam Chase with calls. Trust the process, and maybe use this time to polish your metaphorical knightly armor (read: continue to manage your credit responsibly).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
With a little effort and a dash of charm, you might just find yourself befriending the Chase Sapphire Dragon and securing that coveted credit limit increase. Remember, even the fiercest dragons can be tamed with responsibility and a polite phone call.
