Cards that get a CLI while in SD

Has anyone had experience with getting an auto CLI with a card that is not being used or showing activity? I am not asking about rebuilder cards with built in steps, but a regular credit card where the lender automatically give a CLI based upon improvements in your profile or seeing other lenders giving higher lines without having to be asked for it.

Ditto on Capital One.

 

Hard to believe, but 18 months ago, I only had 2 credit cards: Capital One Platinum (1% back everywhere) and Discover It (5%-1%).

Then I added a few more cards in 2014 including BofA AAA (3%-2%-1%) and Chase Amazon (3%-2%-1%), among others.

Getting better rewards with other cards and needing to meet some bonus spend, I SD the Capital One Platinum card last summer.

 

While the Capital One Platinum was SD, the following happened:

In October, I got an auto CLI from $2000 to $2500.

In January, I got another auto CLI from $2500 to $3500.

 

I called Capital One and yelled at them asking, "Why do you keep raising my CL? That's not gonna make me use the card unless I can get more rewards like I'm getting with my other cards."

 

They offered to PC my card to a QS and give me another CLI to $4500.

 

In February, I found this forum. Now I have too many cards, and only the Citi Prestige gets much action these days.

Re: Cards that get a CLI while in SD

Cap One for me as well. It's funny because I requested CLI for the card I was using, they denied it, then a couple days later they give me a $2000 increase on the card that's been SD.
