Congrats! GEMoney Bank issues the JCPenney Card. Use the card and pay promptly. Credit line increases will be approved after a few months.

Why is the credit line so low...? It would depend on your curent credit reports. Items such as "average age of accounts," "total account age," payment history, credit mix (installment loans, bank cards, store cards, mortgages), judgements, collections, late payments. These are essentially the items that determine the CL. When I signed up for JCPenney they started me with a CL of $1,000 so it depends on the market place too (economy).

I have read on different web sites where GE Money can be more stingy on internet approvals, basically because of a higher risk of fraud versus an instore approval where the cashier can easily verify the applicant hints a higher credit limit. Dont know this to be 100% accurate, but it would make sense.

Congrats!
Don't worry about the credit limit. GE is great with increasing limits every 3 months or so. I applied for this card and received a crappy initial credit line of $150. For three months, I paid on time. At the end of the three months, I applied online for a credit increase and my line of credit increased to $1500! I still get a higher credit line every three months. I am up to $2000 now, so just pay on time and they will reward you with more spending power. Good luck!

I have had this card for only a year, started with a $150 CL (applied online). After a year of regular use, mostly paying in full, I am up to a $2,300 CL.
