So shortly after I posted that, of course they called.
Nov 22, so this was the next business day after Friday, which many may have taken off. So no real complaint!
Can I please get the email address for the executive office? Been two years so might as well ask for a bump. Is it better to pay off my balances prior to sending the email out?
Thanks!

you called? aren't you supposed to email?
You can call or email. Depends on which you are better at. I emailed on Saturday because I wanted a chance to organize my thoughts, etc. Got a call from Erica this afternoon. I have had the card for 11 mos, initial CL 750, currently 1250 thanks to credit steps. Has a $39 AF and rewards are 1pt/dollar except gas/groceries. I advised that the current AF, credit limit and rewards hadn't kept up with my other cards and I couldn't justify keeping the card open once the AF hit. Erica told me the following:
Same speil others have gotten about C1 is a conservative lender, but they are reviewing their policies, recognize not growing with customers, etc.
She immediately removed the AF from my account agreement, so I will never have an AF on this card. She then asked some income/employment/mortgage questions and offered to submit a CLI request for manual review. I asked for 5k.
She then said that my final request (to PC to either venture 1 or Jimmy Fallon card) was more complicated. Basically, they are not supposed to do that unless there are no other options available. It is a complex process and they are actively discouraged from doing so. However, she did say that if my CLI request was rejected, she would call me and we could try to get a PC done to the venture 1. She gave me her phone # and said I should hear from her in 3-5 business days.
While I really would prefer a card with better rewards, the main thing I want the card for is the lack of foreign transaction fees. My original complaint was that with such a small limit and a high AF, I didn't save enough in foreign transaction fees to justify using the card. Since what Erica is offering (waive AF, raise CL) addresses that concern, I feel like what they were offering was reasonable.
I'd love to have the venture 1 or Jimmy Fallon, but I'm certainly not going to close the card if they can bump the CL while ditching the annual fee. Even if I only use it in Mexico/Belize, it will be worth it to have around (at least until I get the CSP).
I wish I would have seen this thread months ago before I had closed my other account with them. I would probably have good limits on both accounts now. I actually did something different, I filed with the Better Business Bureau and got a call from them. They only wanted to talk to me about my Household account, but at the time I did not know it. When the lady called back with an answer is when I realized what was going on. She originally did not even want to take my account number or talk to me about any details of my account. I think they wanted to avoid the oldest account and get a good mark from the BBB even if it was through default. I rejected the BBB offer when I found out it was the Household account. I was also told by Household that my complaint would be forwarded to the right department at Capone and I would be called within 48 hours. I never got the call so I pursued it with Household and got the number for Capone executive complaints department. I didn't get everything I wanted from them, but I will follow up later for more in the future if need be.
They did raise my limit from $500 to $2000 and removed the annual fee. However, the account is still restricted from customer initiated credit limit increases. I was not offered a PC or a lower interest rate.

During the call she said it would take a few days to get a response. Today (the day after her call) I login to my account and see that the change I requested has been done. I had tried several times through normal channels without success, so score one for the Exec office!
