My fully secured card "graduated" Jan. 08 after 10 months, and I got my depost back a couple of weeks later. When the card "unsecured" they automatically raised my limit from $300 to $1000 so the "graduation" was a bittersweet victory because of the low limit.I waited about 2 weeks and hit the luv button but was denied. Not wanting to accept "no" for an answer, I called the credit department "backdoor" number to speak to a human. My rep was really nice and within a couple of minutes performed a product change for me (given me a card with Worldpoints) and raised my limit on the card to $5K. She also offered me a BoA Amex with a limit of $5K (which I readily accepted) so I ended the call with $10K total credit exposure with BoA after a few minutes on the phone.When my $5K Amex arrived a few weeks later, I called to ask for an increase to $15K at activation, which was easily granted. Since my original card "graduated" BoA has been good to work with. In fact, I think it's about time I give them another call.Congrats again and definitely give them a call soon for a CLI!ETA: I would ask for the product change well before the annual fee is due because it may take a few weeks to establish the new account and receive the new card.

Yes, the $29 AF is charged after the card graduates. Mine graduated a month ago, and today the AF has hit me 11$ over the limit. :-)
