Barclays Luv Button...instant?

I just hit the luv button on my Arrival+, requested an increase to 10K from $5k.

 

Balance on my card is 0 and 7th statemnt just cut yesterday. I have basically maxed the card every month and PIF since I got it. Was hoping for an auto CL but no such luck.

 

It gave me a message that a decision would be made in 48 hours and that I would recieve a letter.

 

Wondering if anyone has received an isntant decision when using the luv button or is it always the 48 hour message?

I requested from 1k to 5k recently, got a call the next day saying they could "partially" approve my increase, up to 3.5k.
