Hello friends!
This isn't extremely exciting, but since the data points might be useful I figured I would share that I gave the 'button' a try on my QS Visa Siggy and this time it worked... I got a $3k bump (from $10k to $13k).
Here's where it gets interesting... I'm still turned away on my other two Capital One cards. My 10 year-old QS MasterCard and five month-old Venture WEMC have been consistently denied CLIs due to the usual reasons... I think last time was 'too many inquiries'. FWIW I've not had any HPs since January, and on the bureau they reference (EQ) I have nine HPs... not 'great', but certainly not in the stratosphere. For 'grins' I immediately tried again on my old QS MasterCard but got the standard 7-10 day message. I didn't bother trying the Venture WEMC... I figure I'll save them a stamp (LOL). 
The QS Visa has had significant use from my AU (in April it was nearly maxed out) and is PIF each month - most months the balance runs from $1300 to $1800 - so honestly I was expecting "something", and I'm not disappointed. If this were a year ago (with the same swipes/usage) I feel the results would have been much more impressive, but "it is what it is", and in any case it's something (which is more than my other two cards are seeing).
My personal take-away here is that while things are quite different from just a year ago, significant usage still seems to count for something with Capital One, at least in some cases (or rather, at least in this case).
Hopefully somebody will find this info helpful. 
Edited to add: The last CLI on this account was six months ago (nearly to the day) and was $1k. The CLI before that was last summer (also $1k, and with very little usage).
Good Morning, UncleB! Congrats to you! I agree with your theory that significant usage may prompt a nice CLI with Capital One, especially these days. DD, with a $15.5K CL, used her card heavily the last three months, and then PIF. Her normal spending patterns with her QS were minimal purchases, which she paid off each month She hadn't had an increase in at least nine or so months, and had been requesting ones with denials each time. Not this time, though. She hit that button, and also got a nice $3K increase. On the other hand, DH hasn't seen an increase in I can't remember when. Always PIF before the statement cuts, and his monthly purchases average $700 or so. Not enough, apparently. Luckily, for him, he was finally able to combine his two accounts. That QS now has a $30K CL, so it kind of feels like he got one anyway.
Thanks for the post! Have a good weekend!
Congrats to you! I got lucky as well yesterday. My last CLI was 5 months ago and they had refused my last 2 or 3 attempts on the QS. They finally gave me a 2K increase.
Way to go UncleB . One small step for UB, one giant leap for all UncleBinions

Congratulations on a well-deserved CLI and also excellent data points! Well done.
