Inspired by others on this board I sent an email to the executive offices of Capital 1.
I outlined my history with the card (2 year history, 2 auto CLIs but nothing in over a year) and explained how it no longer fits my credit profile (other cards have much higher limits, etc.)
I asked for the credit line to be increased to $7,500 (from $1,750) and that the annual fee be waived.
Two days later I received a call from their offices and after verifying information (home, income, length of time at job) I was told that they would get back to me in about a week with an answer after they do a soft pull and review the file.
Only two short days later I was called back and told that my request to increase the credit limit to $7,500.00 was APPROVED and my request to waive the annual fee was also APPROVED.
SUCCESS!!
