Strange Goings On In My Bank Account

Last night I got an email from work. We got a bonus! Not a whole lot but enough to cover a bill I had to pay. This morning when I checked on my bank account to make sure it was there I noticed something funny about my credit card account. It said I have $2,000 more credit than I should have for a total of $3,000. I didn't up my credit limit. I'm sure it's a mistake and if it isn't fixed by my next days off work I'll call the bank.

Sometimes, when you are making good payments on time, they increase your credit limit. Call the bank and ask them why they did it.

Today I'm just going to enjoy the increased credit (not touching it!) and call it a birthday present from the bank. LOL

@irishidid It will come in handy if you have an unexpected emergency.

Maybe they raised your credit limit?

@irishidid Is that not a good thing for you, if that is the case?

Sometimes they automatically increase available credit without consent. I hate when that happens!

Yeah, I wish they had notified me first if they did increase it.

Just because they increase your limit doesn't mean you have to use it

Maybe that was the amount of the bonus.

No, the bonus was less than $100 and it went into my checking account.

Yes sometimes they'll up the credit line automatically.

I'm glad to hear that you were able to get that bonus. Getting a few extra bucks does help, especially when we have bills to pay.

I think you should further check it. For confirmation, at least.
