i would leave it and see what happens! worse comes to worse all you have to wait is 3 more months and get to 25k.
Isn't it 6 more months? I tried at 4 months last time and got "Too soon from last credit limit increase."
Must garden until 2/1/2022 to hit my goal AAOA.

Many people who have the means to handle that kind of limit who have business income take a lot if deductions and show very little income on paper that can be verified.
I agree with the others. Just accept Am Ex for $25,000 total and seek other high limit cards from other lenders.
I appreciate all the input. What do we know of people who have been counter-offered on the verification? Do they get put at 25K or do they get less?
I have seen people do what you did then go back in and request less than 25K and get approved. You should do that.

3 month wait on a denial. 6 month wait on a CLI.
Goodness you know a lot, stick around, please. I can learn a few things. I don't mind waiting another 3 months if I get denied. Honestly, ever since I got my Freedom most of my spend is going there.

My BCE CL sits at 18,200 (a number people apperantly don't like) and I did what a normal person would do, I requested an increase TO 36,000. I did this mostly for testing/learning purposes. This amount is a bit more than I make annually so it's all pretty silly. Of course, I got the income verification message and promptly filled it out online and received the 15-30 day message.
So...what are my realistic chances at getting this approved? Will they counter-offer me if I don't get approved?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
A limit I would LOVE to have on any of my CC's. Lol

If you get an Amex it's very easy to acquire. 3XCLI then another increase could get you there.
5K SCL -> 15K -> 20K or so...if your income supports it I guess. (I wasn't making all that much at the time)
