Hi maponafa and grats on your approval... Below is my thread that might help you with your recon. All I did was explain how I was going to use the card, provided my income and was approved with a higher limit.

I'm with you as far as being chicken.

Just remember, it doesn't cost you anything.  You already have an inquiry, so nothing can happen there.  And you don't have to meet the guy/gal on the other end of the phone.  After I tried it a few times, it got easier. 

And you can always reward yourself for making the phonecall - maybe a Bloomin' Onion at Outback or something yummy!
