It depends back in January of 2006 I was prequalified for a WellsFargo credit card with a 1000.00 credit limit and my credit score was between 600-620, since then to date my credit score has dropped to 578-599 and I have received two credit limit increases from them , this could be because a credit card company doesn't base future increases souly on your credit score once you are an established customer but on your payment history and credit limit management skills.
