Today was the day for another $5k/6mo increase, once again approved just like the previous 4 requests. IV has never been provided. Below is a link to the identical thread I started 6 months prior when moving to $50k on this card, which provides a bit more data that I won't repeat in this thread. To summarize, though, I've taken this card with little usage from:
(SL) $10k --> $30k --> $35k --> $40k --> $45k --> $50k --> $55k
If anyone has any questions at all, please fire away.

FYI, I did again try for > $5k, starting with a $60k request ($10k CLI) and upon receiving IV language backed out and tried again for $55k. This to me is concrete evidence that $5k/6mo is what Amex is "comfortable" with in terms of steady growth without requiring IV, especially since it's my 5th time doing the same thing in 2 years now.
COngrats BBS very nice CLI!!
AMex loves your profile im sure
Congrats BBS on the awesome CLI!
Congrats on the steady CLI series.
I recently requested another $5k on my Hilton card, going to $15k on that card and $57k overall, without IV at any point. I agree that for a consistent customer, AMEX would probably be fine with regular $5k bumps.
My patience is not there, however so I might be asking for a much larger increase in July, and expect the IV.
