I haven't had a CLI on my GE cards for the last few months because a "zombie" debt had popped up on my CRAs the beginning of the year. Since the debt in question aged off a couple of months ago and my reports are all clean of CO/CAs, I decided to try again. The results:
JC Penney - $2500 -> $2800
Dillard's Amex - $4200 -> $6000
Forward progress on soft CLIs again!!!

and got my letter in the mail from ge.
walmart system denied me for lack of history at current limit.
guess talking to a live person really does pull its weight sometimes.
Yes, I have two GE cards.
Sorry about your denial, but how long did you wait between requests? As I understand, you need to wait a minimum of 4 statement cycles between requests. Oh, and I didn't talk to a live person; it was automated over the phone.

lol dont be sorry.
i got denied by the system and then reconned next day with a live person.
i apped and got the card 7/28 never made a purchase until 9/12 paid in full 9/25.
starting limit was 800 store card asked for a cli to 3k. the rep said she would forward to credit something cant remember now. but anyways they would send me a letter with their decision. logged in next day into my account (ocd check all my accounts everyday) and said aval credit was 3k =)
thats why i was saying talking to a live person really does help sometimes.
i called ae the same day but the rep denied me straight out. im sure same reason though lack of current limit experience. (i thik its actually a couple weeks older)

Ok, gotcha. I remember reading about that a few days ago. 
Yes, that's a nice increase for you, as well. This is one of the things that I love about GE -- the cards tend to grow very nicely over time. My Dillard's card started out at $700 back in April 2011, and now it's at $6000. It feels great to have "big girl" limits. Even better when they have low or $0 balances!!!
