I just called in to request a CLI to Orchard Bank. Instead of the their usual response of "unfortunately we are not accepting customer initiated CLIs..." the representative informed me that I would receive a response within 10 days about my request. I asked him if customer initiated CLIs had resumed and he confirmed that they have. Finally... It took them forever.

, I think this was a mistake. I'm not gonna take it past 500 for fear this being a mistake.
I can confirm as well. After reading this thread, I called the backdoor number and spoke with a CSR who went ahead and put through a request. I only got a $100 CLI, though... from $300 to $400. I'm envious, LOL!!!!
It is what it is. I'll take it for now.

I was told it would be soft. I'll post back if I find out it wasn't.

The $100 bump sounds very much like Orchard. $300-$4500 sounds weird for them, but stranger things have happened!
I can confirm this too! I just called the standard number on the back of the card after reading this thread and spoke with a CSR who said "I would be happy to help you with that"...got a $200 increase to bump me up to $1000 going to call again later for my 2nd card and hopefully get it up to $1300 from $1100.
