She already had 2 cards totaling $22K.
Last week I got her one more for $11K and combined the limits → now $33K, which is what she needed for the moment.
My approach:
Add Amex (personal) – 1 card
- Add Chase (personal) – 1 card
- Then wait 6 months to go for funding
- I also advised her to open more bank accounts with other institutions to build relationships.
