"Went to" is a passive construction suggesting you are merely witness to this event. Is this so? Or, like Red Beard, did you drive the action, hitting the luv button "like it's your job"? If so, some details would be much appreciated, starting with: how often is too often; and, how often is not often enough?
Definitely hit the luv button ...Double dipped both times... Started @ $250 Hit the luv approved to $2250 logged out, logged back in approved to $4250... Next time hit the love button approved for $5500, logged off and back in this time approved for $7500... Same thing on my bosgovs card. Started at $1500 in November. doubled dipped in Feb $3500 then $5500 and in June $7500 & $9500

So about every 3 months is good? Do you apply until denied each time?
At 1st I did and was denied after the 2nd time so I just quit after 2x now.. And yes after 3 months seems to be the rule of thumb. Some cards require you to have the card for 6 months before you can get an increase tho. I have several comenity cards and most of their store cards report around the 16th so I generally wait till the end of that 3rd month. I don't think its a hard 3 months (90/91) days just 3 billing cycles.
