I just tried it myself and moved a $10,000 credit line from one card to another. It took less than 60 seconds using the Chase mobile app.
Here’s how easy it is, and why you might want to do it too.
First, you’ll need to own at least two Chase credit cards and have them connected to the same account login.
Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough of the process:
From here you’ll see a quick explanation screen telling you a bit about the feature and why moving available credit can help you.
Next you’ll see a list of all your Chase cards, their current credit limits, and how much of each you can move. Here’s what my list looked like:

From there, keep following the prompts…
4. Select which card you want to move credit to.
5. Choose the amount you want to move (in $100 increments)
6. Confirm the transfer.
That’s it! No calls, no waiting, and no credit check required.
The new limits show up within a couple minutes in your account. I logged out of my app then logged back in and my cards showed the new available limits.

Moving credit lines between existing cards might sound like a nerdy thing to do. But it’s actually really useful in a few situations.
Here’s a why you might want a higher credit limit on a specific card:
It’s also just a good practice to manage your limits proactively. Your credit utilization (how much you owe compared to your total available credit) plays a big role in your score.
Moving credit limits isn’t the same as requesting an increase, although it pretty much achieves the same result.
Here are a few ground rules to know before using the feature:
Also, moving a credit line won’t lower or erase your debt balance — this isn’t the same as a balance transfer. If you owe $2,000 on the card you’re moving from, that balance stays until you pay it off.
It’s great to see Chase stepping up their tech game and giving users new features. It’s one of the reasons I’ve got multiple Chase cards and have banked with them for over a decade.
Whether you’re trying to build a DIY high-limit card or just want flexibility with your credit, having the ability to shift limits instantly is a big win in opinion.
