Can I call the credit card company and ask for a higher limit?

Question by starfishblues: Can I call the credit card company and ask for a higher limit?
I got a credit card about 6 months ago with a limit of just $ 800. It’s a student credit card. Can I call the credit card company and ask for a higher credit limit? I’ve heard you can ask for a lower interest rate and sometimes they’ll give it to you, but is the same true for a higher credit limit?

Thanks in advance.

Answer by jimobasa
You would be considered for a higher credit limit if (a) all monthly payments have been made by the due date and (b) you have remained within your $ 800 limit
