Wells Fargo Secured ...CLI?! Very confused!

[Brusilov]

I have a Wells Fargo Secured credit card with a line of $500/$500 collateral.  I just hit my 6 month anniversary a few weeks ago, and logged into my account online just now to find that my credit line is not $500, but $600?!  Could they have possibly graduated me already before the normal 12 months are up?  Is this some sort of mistake?  Has anyone ever run across anything like this?

Here's the reply I got back from Wells Fargo customer service:  Our records indicate your secured credit card account qualified for an unsecured automatic credit line increase. Your new credit limit is $600.00.

Pretty cool!  I didn't even know they went partially secured before the graduation date and hadn't heard of this happening before.  Anyone else seen this before?  Maybe it's a new thing they're doing?
