I plan to apply for 3 credit cards in 2 months to maximise rewards. Will this hurt my credit score and my future loan eligibility?

On credit limit increase: most banks auto-review every 6 months. If you use 30-70% of the limit and pay in full, you'll get an automatic increase. Don't call and ask for it explicitly — banks take it as a sign of credit hunger and sometimes lower the limit instead.
