I just requested a CLI from Wells Fargo -- I went from $8,000 to $20,000. The underwriter didn't even flinch at my request to be upped to $20,000. My scores are in the high 600's and no baddies. My overall utilization is at 48% and the utilization on my Wells Fargo account is at 95%! The utilization on my Quicksilver is pretty high too. My initial credit line was $8,000 and I never requested or received an auto increase before today.
Starting Score: 532
Excellent. Congrats on the increase! That should help your UTIL portion of your FICO score, if you don't run it back up to the limit. :-)
I'm putting it in the sock drawer right away!!
Very nice! I have been thinking about giving them a call to see if they can increase my limit.
I have had the card with them since 2006 - started at $500 (was in college) and over the years I have had auto CLIs up to my current limit of $5,500. The whole time though, I have been in the hole with my overall UTL averaging around 90-95% (ouch!). Thankfully, I am finally getting ahead and in the last 6 months I have paid off a ton to get my overall UTL to 60% (yes still high, but I was REALLY in debt - lots of stupid choices in college and every credit card company wanted a piece of the pie 
- they just kept offering me more and more credit, ha!)
Anyway, thinking about trying to get another increase by actually calling, but I will wait for my balance transfer to process (transfering the last $2,000 on this card to my new Discover IT with 0% for 14 months). I haven't charged a dime in the last 6 months except for cards that I PIF to earn rewards. It would be nice to start doing the same with this card now that it earns 1% cash back.
But congrats! Hopefully I will have some more good news from Wells Fargo within the next week or so.
Wells Fargo dosen't have a great reward program, but it's not too bad.
I've had my card for 20 months. It was a HP, but worth it.

Wow that's a fantastic jump, congrats on your CLI 
Wow! I hope to get that kind of luv from Wells Fargo in a few months. They've really loosened up with me as of lately. I went from having a $700 limit college card from them to closing it to getting denied the Propel and getting the Propel a few weeks ago.
Congrats!
