I have been visiting and learning from the Myfico forums for a while now and I am here to report that emailing the Capital One executive office worked for me!  My CLI was increased from $750 to $1,500!  My email was cordial and not demanding.  Someone from the office called me the following day and I saw the CLI on my account today!  Thank you so much for everyone's advice!

How long have you had your account?

Hi patsfan 1453,

I've had my account since December of 2011.

Thanks, my account is going to be a year old in Feb, so I'll try to persuade them then...

i emailed the CEO. the letter was cordial, and respectful, but i have not heard anything back yet. maybe my letter didn't seem worthwhile? i had just attempted to apply for a ventureone card and was turned down. i also have cash rewards card that is just reached its 7th statment. i requested either a recon or changes to my cash rewards. but have not heard back as i did this on the 19th.

I just tried emailing them for CLI on my Spark credit card.  I'll post back if/when I hear anything.

My current limit is $750.

Hopefully it will be a nice increase.  I've had the card since Sept. 2011, perfect payment history, 680-700 fico scores, and 100k+ income.

I've also tried with customer service rep initiated CLI's to no avail.

********Update************* Someone from the Cap1 Exec office called me today (same day I sent the email).  They took some of my financial information and said they will be doing a manual review of my account using a SP of my credit file.  They said they'll contact me in 3 days to let me know if and what my CLI will be.  

********Update*************Just got another call from the Cap1 Exec office.  They bumped me from $750 to $5,000.  Whoo hoooo!!!!!

Could you please PM me the email address(es) used? I also have a Spark with no CLI so far. The CL is $2K but I use it heavily for business so sometimes the Util on this card is high. Would be nice to get a bump.
