Barclays Rewards Mastercard - When to ask for a CL Increase?

Hey guys - I'm a long-time reader, first-time conributor to the forums.  I've been slowly rebuilding my credit over the last year and I was approved for a Barclays Rewards Mastercard at the beginning on August, 2014 for a CL of $1,500. To date, it's the highest limit on a cc that I have. How long do you have to wait until you can request a CL increase with them? Any insight would be hugely appreciated.

Give it 6 to 7 STATEMENT cuts, meaning 6 or 7 statements and see if you get an AUTO CLI, without a HP.. If you don't after the 7th statement cut, request one via a HP on the website.

I would wait until either your 6 or 7th Statement cuts I received an Auto CLI on my 6th Statement from $1000 to $2300. Opened the card early June and it was visible on December 4th.
