# Creating a spend rule request

> How to request temporary or permanent changes to your spend rules as a Cardholder

The spend rule requests workflow allows you to request temporary or permanent changes to your spend rules if the **Use Auto-Card Funding** feature is enabled. Whether it's increasing a time-based limit, enabling international spend or adjusting merchant category restrictions, spend requests enable fast, accountable decision-making — all without leaving the PEX platform.

You can submit spend requests to increase your spend limits from the mobile app or Dashboard.
