So last week, I think, I got on chat and asked for a CLI to my Amazon Store card. I felt sheepish about doing it, I'm on the edge of finishing my rebuild, so I only asked for $1,500, up from $800. They approved it through chat. The same day, I was in my Wal Mart store account, and decided to hit the luv button there. I asked for $2000, and got it. So I hit it again and asked for $3000, and I got it. I then asked for $5K and was shot down, so I stopped.
And it's been nagging me that I may have left "money" on the table with Amazon, so I logged in today, after my payment posted yesterday, and got on chat. I flat out asked for $5K, and they countered at $3,500, so I took it. I'm pleased ... it's been a great week or two for me. I got a raise at work (that I had pretty much written off), I was approved for the BCE with a $2K limit, and now this increase.
My ONLY desire now is for my Discover Secured card, which I've had for 13 months now, to graduate. Part of me has a feeling that I'd be better off just closing it, now that I've received my year end match, and re-apping for a regular unsecured card. I may just wait on that though, since I just got my BCE, with its 15 month promo period, and reapp for Discover later in the year to take advantage of any promo offers they may have later in the year 
OK I lied ... my other desire would be to get CLIs on both my QS and QS1 cards, but I'm getting the too many inquiries denial.
Congrats!! Good work. I would wait out the Discover card (not close it). You have your foot in the door already. Have you tried to contact Discover in regards to getting your card graduated...nothing fails but a try. You may be pleasantly surprised...good luck!!

I contacted them several months back, probably four or more, when they first started graduating secured card holders, and at that time, of course, no joy, nor any real information, but yes, I may give them a chat today and see what happens. It's not like I need it .. .but I sure do want it

No joy ... at least today. My "review" is done each month on the 20th (which I knew), so I guess I could still get the "good news" email today or even next week, so for now, I sit tight and the Disco goes back in the filing cabinet drawer
