Navy FCU1$14,400

Discover $9,500
Which do you think would give me the most CLJ fir the hard pull?
My intent is to get one of the CL's up to $20,000 or better so it can be my go to card for paying everything monthly and PIF each month.'
I also have A BMW Siggy w/$15,000
Marvel MC w/$16,000
DCU $5000
USAA $6000
I am not much interested in Synchrony CLI's in case they decide to send the blue envelope.
My scores are 820 EXP
744 EQ
804 TU
I also have a USAA Secured Card for $1000 and a Visa for $6000. i have nordstroms, overstock and victorias secret store cards.
I have about 6% UT and most cards have 0 balances. I have 1 old medical collection on EQ only paid in full (three years old). No other derogs. AOA is about 4.5 years although my oldest line of credit is over 42 years old and closed. I have no inquiries in the past 6 months.
My question is which cards would you suggest I go with from above to do the hard pull with to the the largest CLI. My annual income is $189,000+.
I can't do Chase because of an old providian account (I can't remember if Providian is connected toCase and Capial One or not.) from 16 years ago. Capital one is show qualifiers but they were burned in 2004 so I don't know if they can be trusted. Amex in the same boat. I had some huge issues in he early 2000's but I sucked it up and cleaned my reports and pay everything on time.
Who should i get to hard pull to try to get the big increase,. I would be happy with $14,000 to $20,000. I think Navy Citi or Discover.. All three of them were gotten around the same time in November of 2016.
Don't worry about the old Providian.
I had a personal one go bad from a failed business in 2000-2001 for $6000.
I have $65.5k in CC limits with them. I don't carry any balances because the APR's are confiscatory, but They are my main bank also
+1... @woodyman100 is right on the money. 
Sorry for not noticing this specific concern earlier... I also had a Providian problem years ago, but more recent than yours (2008-ish).
I had a Providian card that ended up being charged-off due to a job loss around the time of the WaMu conversion, then of course later Chase (I think I even got a Chase card issued on the old account at some point around the time the CO was finalized, but I can't remember for sure). The collection account for the card was one of the last to drop from my credit reports - it hung on until the very last minute (for the record I'm not complaining... I "earned" it).
With that in mind, I now have an IHG and Amazon Prime Visa, both at the lowest APR.

Even right after an AR, NFCU can be either a SP or HP with no way to tell up-front - the CSRs even tell people to expect a HP.
My own NFCU card went from $15.3k to $20k (with a HP), and IMO that would probably be the card with the best chance of getting to $20k, which seems to be @Anonymous's primary objective.
Thanks UncleB. I applied for the CLI on my Go Rewards on 7/25. They asked for POI the next day. I sent it and have secure messaged them every day since to no avail. They hard pulled TU. It's now the 30th and nothing so I apped PenFed on the 28th and got an instant $49,0000 Power Cash card approval. . I kind of wish it was NFCU but I'll take what I can get. PenFed got the worm. My thoughts and the advice I received seemed like NFCU would be the most likely to give me the CL I desired but they didn't feel the same way apparently. You just never know until you try.
Congrats on the awesome PenFed approval!
Don't give up on NFCU just yet... if they asked for POI that usually means things look good, and they are said to be running behind lately. FWIW, my own CLI with them last fall took a few days as well - I had also given up since the initial message said "24 hours".
In any case it looks like you made your goal of having a card with a $20k limit... and then some!
