Talked to a rep at the EO yesterday about a CLI on my Orchard card and my Best Buy card (stuck at $300 and $500 for 3 years now), and she said that they are finally able to handle these accounts (after months of trying periodically) and will get back to me by Monday. My question is, how much of an increase should I ask for without sounding greedy or desperate? $1k, $2k, $3k? I'm not even sure, I was caught off guard by the random call back!

I bumped my Orchard from $1500 to $10000, so don't be afraid to be greedy!! XD if they can't match it, they will counteroffer with a lower amount, so might as well shoot high! 
Considering your other limits I'd shoot for 1500 on both. It's funny that some cap 1 cards are difficult but neiman Marcus I received a cli no problem. Maybe cap1 is changing policies.
Starting Score: 534

Hey, I emailed them and got a call back, but I missed the call. They didn't leave a message either.
I'm just checking to see if they call from a 831-area code? My iPhone says it's from Salinas, CA.

They should have left a message...the call does come from an 831 area code, however that is a faux number. Trying to dial it back will lead to what seems like a disconnected number.
The call-back number is 866-280-0118!
Today was the day that I'm supposed to hear back from the EO, so I figured I'd log in to my account and see if anything changed (since I got an alert for a HP on my EQ). There was a change. $100 increase..are you serious?! I'm so frustrated right now, I sacrificed a HP for $100?! I may have to give them another call and see if anything else can be done.
