Shifted LOC from Hilton Amex to DL Amex but could not do it again a month later.CSR said only every 6 months. Do I try again?</font>
Absolutely. If the next CSR gives you the same routine, ask to talk to a supervisor. I made two LOC transfers last month - the first one was to transfer the remaining LOC on my Starwood card to the DL (before paying the balance), the second was after my Starwood statement closed, I paid the balance over the phone and transferred the rest (except for $100) to DL. Ran into a problem on the second transfer (see below).

Had the HH a year and decided to go for the Delta with the big, big bonus(es) and savings bond deal of recent. Applied online and was told "need 30 days decision". Received a letter 10 days later denying me the card and I called to find out the scoop. I was told I could open a Delta card, but only if I was willing to transfer part of my credit line from the HH card. I remembered reading on FT about asking for an increase on an existing card, so they transferred me over to that dept. A rep asked me how much I wanted/needed and 2 minutes later, I was given a "raise" to 20k which I split between the 2 cards. Go figure!"</font>
Yeah, they're kinda hosed up over there, but glad it worked out for you. After my second transfer request went through (after several phone calls), my combined LOC was $8K lower than the prior month - I figured they did this because I was such a pain in the ___. Called again - now my combined LOC is $8K higher than the previous month. I'm not calling back on this one.
