My gosh. I've been stuck with this $150 limit forever. I must spend $1k a month with Amazon, it's a pain having to pay my balance multiple times a month. All of my other accounts are in good standing. Their VS4.0 puts me at a silly 710, with my TU F8 being 787.
I was stuck at $10k for the longest time (computer turned me down every month) and, in mid March, called the senior underwriting number from the "backdoor numbers" thread. I told him I'd found a watch on Amazon for $18,239.97 that I was thinking about buying and wanted to get my limit bumped up so I would be ready if I decided to pull the trigger. Bumbed me up $8300 to $18.3k before we were off the phone.
I have no idea if having a specific item I wanted the increase for helped or not, but it seemed to go pretty easy, once I told him that.
I ended up deciding a couple of days later, not to buy the watch, because of the Corona Virus situation.
