Jan - April 2015 - tried luv button several times - no soup for me
April 2015 called EO about CLI and upgrading to Venture- no dice
April 2015 app'd and approved for Venture @$15,000 (pre-qualify website)
I got a QS1 for $500 in early April. Statement cut last week and decided to check their prequal site. I was qualified for all of their cards with much lower rates! I went for the Venture and was approved for 10K. So for me I didn't even get to second month of credit steps. QS1 $500 card is about to get SD
I opened an account in November (QS1).
Starting limit was $1k.
I got an increase via request button in February. $1k to $3k.
My statement for the steps increase was supposed to cut on the 6th. My account seems stuck. I haven't had a new statement cut and no steps increase yet. It is still showing a due date of May 3rd. I did see they did a soft pull across the board in April. Unfortunately, my scores took a huge jump 3 days after they did a sp. I did request an increase Saturday just to get my account moving. I got a letter under docs saying, request declined because I recently received an increase??? I am going to check via chat tomorrow to find out what is going on.

Keep in mind. Capone. Recent. Is within 6 months. If you just got increase in February. And also got card in November. You probably are not getting anything with credit steps. Their rule. Except with venture. Is every6 months. So means. You will probably be due in August. But yes. Call EO. See what they can do. But if you went from 1k to 3k of having card 3 months. That was most likely it.
Taxi - I have seen quite a few who got the increase after a couple months and still got an increase after steps. This is the "new and improved" Cap one doing this. That was the case prior to this year. Just read this thread and you will see others with the same exact scenario.

Agreed. And so have I. But ive ever seen some one get 2k and got the steps. Most of the others got like 500. Or 1k. Then. Got another 1k during steps. I also got 3k during steps. But I never hit love button. However. Your limit or starting limit was 1k. Mine was 500. So you could get more. It's just not likely once your card hits 3k. You are considered in prime area with cap one. But see what the EO says. Keep us updated. It's interesting to say the least in your case. I agree. Cap one is much improved. And I luv em. But I also know their perimeters. They would much rather give you another card. Did you get in on venture gravy train yet?
