So 3 months and 1 day after my last CLI from Bank of America, the luv button popped up again! Decided to test my luck and push for a ridiculous limit at $40k. Only got a slight pushback! I'm surprised they have been so generous.
Since joining MF, this card has grown significantly over 6 months: 3k > 9k > 18k > 34.3k
The cash advance limit is a joke for the limit on the card lol. Has never increased.
Congratulations on your CLI!
Wow! Fantastic increase, congrats 
Congratulations on the CLI.
Question for you. How do you make the payments? Do you wait until the statements cut then make the payment or paid off the balance before the statement cut?
Just got my Alaska card and wondering what's the best way to heavily spend the card while avoiding heavy utilization % reporting (paid off before statement cut) and setting myself up for the best chance of successful CLI. Would paying off the balance before statement cut somehow not showing I don't need the CLI (hope that make sense)

I used to pay before the statement, but now I just do everything after the statement cuts. I don't really care about utilization at the moment, since I'm not planning on having any loans taken out any time soon.
BoA will see that you've put heavy spend regardless of when you paid. You'll be fine either way!
Excellent, grats on the very nice CLI
