I did that... they had no clue why I was calling...
BUT... They called me back today!
When I originally called for the CLI, I had reqested $300 which was declined. No big deal, I was calling for the bump to fit a plane ticket on, which I wound up charging to my Signature. (My CL was $1000, the plane ticket was 800, but I already had $300 on the card).
Any how, they called last week but didn't leave a message, I called back but they had no clue why I was called.
They called again today, I answered a few questions and Ba ba da da! $1500 increase to $2500 total CLI!
I've had the card for 6 months, still have my BK and a nasty Tax Lien. What's funny is that the first question they asked was, "do you still need an increase?"
"No", I said. "I wanted it to charge a plane ticket to my Discover, but wound up putting it on my Visa Signature. But if you'd like to review it without a hard pull, then maybe I can use your card next time". HA!
My wallet now:
NFCU Flagship Signature Visa:$5000/$49af
Discover More:$2500/$0af
Barclays Apple Visa:$1300/$0af
Cap1 NH Cash Rewards$1250/39af
+ $5000 NAVCheck LoC. = $15,050 Total Availible Credit
19mo Post BK. My eq FICO should crest 680 as soon as my cards reflect the correct balances of $0 (within the next 3 days). Woot!

Wow. That's great!
I wish they'd call me and ask if I still want the card
