Maybe because you are paying in full, we always left a balance like $15 or so... but that's before we realized we had to keep only one card under 9% and the other ones at zero. We never paid in full the first 6 months we had it, but left a very small amount on it. From what I read maybe it means to them you don't really need crdit since you are paying in full and also they have no interest increasing your limit. 24% interest on $20 is about $5 or so, so small price to pay. Maybe you can leave a balance under 9% on the cap1 card and the other ones at zero for a few months before requesting an increase...
