Wow, this is unbelievable. I've had a BBRZMC with a $500 limit for almost 3 years now. I have never gotten a CLI. About a year ago, a CSR told me that maybe I should try re-applying for a new card since my credit had gotten better since my card was issued. She figured I'd get a new card with a higher limit and that I could close my original one. Well, I got a new card alright, but this one only had a $300 CL. Since that limit was so small, I kept both the $500 CL card and the $300 CL card open. Well, after reading this thread, I logged into my account with the $500 limit...nothing. I then logged into the $300 CL account...CLI from $300 to $600!
Sure is weird how their cards work. I never would have guess that the $300 CL card open for less than a year would be more likely to get a CLI than the $500 CL card open for 3 years with perfect payment history.
With this many CLI's happening at the same time, it almost makes me paranoid that someone hacked into their system and started handing out CLIs.

I think it was Oprah. "You get a CLI...You get a CLI....and...You get a CLI!" Wouldn't that be fun to do, though? Not that I condone hacking.
had mine since july. I am still at 100. :-( I do hope this is a sign things are changing and maybe the CLI button will work soon. I have used this card every month and some month more than others. I even charged it up to 99 one month in order to show usage and lately I have been putting no more than 15-30 bucks and paying it off. Hope I get one soon. Congrats on you guys that did.
Oh, FYI...neither of my 2 accounts ever had a CLI button when I logged in. Since there was no "luv button" and since I never received any CLI on my $500 card over the years, I just always assumed that both cards were one of their Tier B cards where your initial CL is all you can ever get (no CLI possible...ever).
I guess maybe only my first $500 CL card was a Tier B and my second $300 CL card was a Tier A even though the starting CL was smaller.
Thanks for the heads up. $300 auto CLI for me as well. Not sure if it was coincidence, but I believe February was the anniversary of my first statement with the card. Started at $1K with no AF, so now I'm up to $1300. Better yet, balance was up around $850 after Christmas, but I just PIF after I got my tax refund, so the CL went up and the balance went way down. Oh, if only every card could be like that.....
I wonder what the criteria they use for a CL. I started off with 500 as well, and I have not gotten a CL. I always PIF, and, at one point, I had "heavy" (relative to balance) usage of this card.

This is my situation also, started with 500 about 6 months ago, no annual fee, always PIF, no CLI.
i checked today and the gave me a 100.00 cli. now my cl is 400.00. i don't really use them much. i have my psecu card and i don't worry about them.
I have a gold that is 750 CL . put on average 1300 to 2200 a month through it and i didnt get one . No CLI on the Plat version either its at 600 bleh ( but i dont use it because of the gold when i got the plat i was expecting to ditch the gold but they waived the AF so i kept it open)
