Credit card limits might get higher as well.

I was thinking that if I could get my current credit card providers to increase my credit line, that may boost my score, plus the added benefit of not adding a new inquiry or lowering my average age of credit. So I logged into my acct and requested it.. 2 weeks later I get a denial letter stating that they would not raise it because I don't utilize the credit that they have currently given me. This was my 1st time ever getting a denial like that! Thought that was interesting... Since then I have been making a conscious effort to use that particular card more.
