No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
That stands for we really don't have a good reason at the moment so we will just feed you some dog poop lol

Sounds like they think the balances are too close to the account CLs. Do you have any balances on them?
I'm not sure but I think most banks don't like increasing CLs just because you're hitting the ceiling with escalating balances. Major purchases excepted sometimes.
I, too, was denied some CO luv this past week.
I wasn't terribly surprised, given that the card I was requesting it for was increased from $1,000 to $1,500 in January through the credit steps program (I didn't think to try to increase it *before* my credit steps were completed, as others have reportedly seen some success with.)
So, back to the grind I go, and a retry in another few months once I've had this limit for 6.
Wanted to give you guys an update. Just logged into my account and noticed they bumped me to $6,000! So they gave me an increase of $3,700! I'll take it. Hopefully I can get them to convert to WMC now!
Capital One has been nothing but good to me. This started out at $300 last March, went to $2,300 after I completed the credit steps in Semptember and now this.

Means you aren't using your cards enough to warrant a CLI.
I've gotten the same message on my $4000 and $2750 CL cards.. .and they are right.. .because as of late I've used both for like $200 a month due to the fact I've been taking advantage of better rewards (5% Sallie Mae and Discover) with my better cards.
It would be nice but I can't really complain about not getting a CLI on a $4000 card when I've only used it for $200 a month.

It's the opposite actually. CapOne loves usage.
