I have a BCE and its initial CL was 7.5k. I requested the full 3x at 22.5k and was countered at $19,200. I'll take it! 
I also used secure messaging for Chase to attempt a SP CLI as a few others have tried. I had 1k and I asked for 5k and they gave me a 1.3k (I laughed.....) and looked like they HP'd anyway (not sure 100% but the message said they did but the alert has not come through yet). I was annoyed so I figured if they really HP'd I might as well call to recon. I called the backdoor number and got a nice analyst. Talked through some stuff and she came back and approved me for the full 5k I initially requested. So I guess that forced me out of the garden but I guess it was worth it.... I could have argued the HP that I said I did not want, but since things went so well I guess it was worth it. Maybe Chase and I will get along better now with the higher CL.
