CLIs...when to

When can/should I try CLIs on new cards? Should I pay in full every month or leave a small balance? I have 1% utilization as of now but after the 1st statements it will be a little higher but less than 10%.

Re: CLIs...when to

I just tried successfully (but only after conversation with CSR) on my Barclays Arrival+ that I opened in September.  I had asked for a fairly sizable increase and got it.

 

Don't know if there's an overall best time to ask--I've read around here that six months is when many cards give an auto CLI.
