I got initially approved for a 3k limit and then called and told them I wanted to BT over 6K from another card.  They bumped my limit up to 9K to accomodate the transfer.

Was the CLI end up being an HP?  I'm curious as I got a $3k on my Hawaiian Airlines and called this morning but they told me that it'll be a HP so i said no.

@Anonymous likes BT's and carrying a balance during the promo period. People who that usually see an auto CLI @ 6 months 

+1 Barclays (and Disocver) definitely likes use of the card in this form. 

 

Congrats on the card!
