Any way to get BOA to CLI me with SP?

I have four credit cards.  USAA, BOA, Credit 1 (blegh) and Cap 1.  

 

Credit 1 obviously was a rebuild card, and I've pretty much topped that limit out at $1500. Usaa gave my a limit of 2K, and my cap 1 started at 1000, went to 3000, now i have $4500 CL and it was converted to quicksilver.


BOA steadfastly is stuck at $1,000 which it started with in May last year...

 

I am in the process of buying a house right now so I don't want to get any inquiries, but more CL would not be a bad thing.  Is there any way to tell BOA, what the heck man, you're my lowest card, even behind that Ghetto Arse Credit 1?

 

Also, without an SP Smiley Happy

You can try whatever you want, but it is known BoA pulls TUs for CLI's. The good thing is the increases, for many, have been big increases.

Even if they say it will be a SP it's always a HP. I would wait until after your house buying is done.

Yeah I would wait. Almost guaranteed to be a hp. Big cli I'm sure. But, you'll get a hp for it.

Not entirely true. I was able to get a SP CLI from BOA.

 

Here's the original thread:

Since you are in a process of buying a house, I would wait if I were you till you close your house. As others had said, BoA is good on high CLI.

We know it's not entirely true, but with buying a house, it's not worth it to gamble getting a CLI on a 5% chance it will be a SP.

Exactly, 95%+ it will be a TU HP

I know it's not worth it and that's why I mentioned "not entirely". Couple of posts mentioned, it's "Always" a hard pull, which is not true.
