When I talked to the exec rep, she upgraded me to the 1.5% cash rewards card with no A/F, and is processing (with a soft pull!) my request for the credit limit increase. I already have a platinum rewards card and had asked in my email for a Cash Rewards Visa Signature.
I was so happy, it wasn't untilI hung up that I realized I never heard her say "Visa Signature". Now I'm wondering if I actually got upgraded to the siggy card. I looked online and it appears that the extra half percent rewards bonus only comes with the siggy cash card - plus the non-sig ones are for limits under 5k.
My online account still says Platinum, but the answer regarding my CL increase is still pending. What do y'all think? Will I get my first Visa Signature card out of all of this? I'll ask when she calls back with an answer on the CL.
Holy CARP! After watching my Capital One online all weekend, and even early this morning, sometime in the last hour my account was updated to reflect a CL change from 3500 to 10k. SWEET! The card is still labeled as "Platinum Mastercard" on the site, but the rep did mention sending me a new card when I talked to her last week. I guess I'll find out then if it's a Siggy. 10k I can handle though... To think just a few years ago I was excited to have a 300 dollar Orchard Card.

My $500 platinum card was open since 2004 with that same limit and they just raised it to $3000 when I called the EO. My ficos are probably no higher than 670-680 depending on what report you look at , so I would think you are a prime candidate for an increase, possibly an upgrade to a better card. Have you checked their preapproval page to see if you qualify for something better?

I copied the idea from someone else here; If I remembered who I'd give them the credit. Basically it's some google images pasted together into a paint document, uploaded to my profile images and set as a linked image in my signature. If there's an easier way to do it, I don't know it.
***EDIT: I remembered who I got the idea from. It was twelfthjoe2.

I don't see why not. Try the regular reps first, though. They might be able to help you without the execs. Then, if that doesn't work, go the exec route.

These posts blow my mind. Every time I speak w the Exec Office, I get the run around :-/
Hmmm... I've had my card over a year, and have scores in the low 700's and it worked for me... But I have no collections, and high limits on a couple other cards. What is your situation? Did you email, or just call?
