No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I think six months from the time you got a CLI through the EO is sufficient time to wait before contacting them again, especially when you put though $5000 per month on a card that has a limit of $5000. Abusing the system would be contacting the EO every month or perhaps even requesting an increase twice a year when you don't use the card. Personally, I think I am going to wait nine months, but I'm only running $1000-$2000 per month on my $5000 limit card.
I had no problem in December 2012 going from 2300 to 3000 via the Executive Office and then in February of 2013 I follow up with the Executive Office and got another increase from 3000 to 7500. I have two accounts that are around 7 years old both with identical credit lines.
I had an increase through the EO in November and the rep that assisted me advised to call him back in at 6 months and he would review for another increase.

Furthermore, customer service is what the EO is there for. Calling them is not "bothering" them, it's taking advantage of a service that is made available for one's use. Lastly, what traditional path is there to take? We all know Capital One's frontline CSR's will read off a script about not being able to approve CLI's when asked.
Who knows that can change, maybe CSR will eventually be able to help with CLI ( I would hold my breath though tbh). Also true EO is there for customer service, but their is also a reason for a path of escalation, and why EO isn't who you talk to when you call customer service.
TU 715 No apps to 05/13 cash+ 5/13!!! 738 TU CSP April 13!!!CSP approved May 13!!!
Got a Venture card in Nov of 2012 with a 5K limit had it raised to 7500 in Jan of this year and than had it raised again in feb to 12K...But I run a ton of money thur the card and pay in full..somrtime making mulitable payments before the statement cuts
Thank-you, some of the answers have been very helpful. Sounds like I could ask for another CLI in a few months if I keep using it as my main card and making multiple payments per month.

I hope they do get their act together soon. I absolutely hate talking to to Capital One's CSR's. There is no reason to deal with people on the other side of the world who are given no power to make decisions when you can call up Chase, Discover, Amex, USAA, et cetera and talk to perfectly competent and capable CSR's. You can bet that unless Capital One changes something, when I'm ready for a CLI I'm going to escalate myself directly to the EO.
Had my 2 accounts doubled early February and will continue to contact EO every 6 months.
If that's the only way to achieve what they should be doing naturally at least twice a year then so be it.
