secure message or by calling customer service at (888) 842-6328. You need to wait for at least 3 months after opening your account before asking to get a
Navy Federal credit limit increase. You should also wait a minimum of 3 months in between future credit limit increase requests. Be prepared to provide your employment status, annual income and the amount of your monthly rent or mortgage payment. If you request a credit limit increase, you will be asked to give Navy Federal permission to do a
hard pull of your credit report. This lets them assess your creditworthiness. The hard pull will cause your credit score to dip a few points. But your score should rebound quickly if you continue to use your card responsibly. Navy Federal may also extend you an automatic credit limit increase – as often as once every six months but probably not so
frequently. The evaluation for an automatic increase uses a soft credit pull, which does not affect your credit score. While Navy Federal will periodically review your account, there’s no guarantee they will give you an automatic increase. You can help your chances by always paying on time and keeping your
credit utilization below 30%. Michael, Member@mike_t_swaim • 01/13/21 This answer was first published on 01/13/21.

As a result, you will get a better credit utilization ratio, assuming your spending does not increase, too. The lower the ratio, the better your credit score. If you continue to spend and maintain a high balance on your account, you will see a negative impact on your credit score. A credit limit won’t help your credit score if you just max it out immediately. show less When will I be eligible for a credit limit increase without asking?You may be eligible for a credit limit increase without asking after 6-12 consecutive months of on-time bill payments with a new credit card account. Credit card companies need evidence that you can handle your current spending limit responsibly before giving you the ability to borrow more.

To start off, issuers only use a soft inquiry (which does not affect your credit score) for this type of increase. If you ask them for an increase instead, they’re more likely to use a hard inquiry, which can cause a temporary drop in your score. In addition, getting any kind of credit limit increase adds to the total credit you have available, which can lower your credit utilization if you spend the same amount of money (or less) than you did before. Or, it can allow you to spend more without increasing your utilization. If you want to increase the chances of a credit card company giving you a higher limit without you having to ask for it, there are a few steps you can take. How to get a credit limit increase without asking:
These steps won’t guarantee you a credit card limit increase without asking. But they will certainly help your chances. If your credit card’s issuer doesn’t grant you an unsolicited increase, you may want to just ask for an increase yourself. While your request will probably lead to a lower credit score, the damage will be small and temporary. And in the long term, a limit increase has the potential to bring your score higher. show less WalletHub Answers is a free service that helps consumers access financial information.
