GE CLI - Use LUV button or call in? - EDIT: 2x CLI SUCCESS!

I just used the LUV button on my Gap Visa a few minutes ago to bring my CL from 4k ->5k, but I wanted to know if people typically have higher increases calling Credit Solutions instead (or does it not matter?)

 

I might as well learn now for my September CLI request Smiley Very Happy

 

EDIT:  Called in to Solutions and asked for an additional 3k (to bring my limit to $8k).  Approved!  I'm loving GE right now!

800+ across all three (via FAKOs) has been achieved! Current goal - Get down to 6 cards in total - sitting with 8 currently.

Most people have greater success when calling Credit Solutions (in other words, higher chance of a higher CLI than via LUV button).

I just got the increase by calling!  In all, I've just gone from my $4k limit to $8k (I figured asking for 2x my original limit was enough)

 

Thanks for the tip about double dipping - I never would've thought to try it!
