Since it's been a year without apps I decided to go ahead and go for a CLI. I got the card 12/2018 with a $2K SL and was shot down for a CLI once when it was like 6 months old for being too new. Since I don't have any TU apps planned, I decided to try again today. I called and the guy told me the system was only offering $300 but that he could submit for a manual review for more. Asked for $5000 and just got a hard pull alert on TransUnion and I see the full amount was granted. 
It does seem like the amount the system offers you is actually offered with a SP because in order for him to submit the manual review request I had to accept the $300 and that was reflected immediately with no HP but I am trying to get as many cards to $5K as possible. Of my 18 cards, only Target ($800), DCU ($1K with CLI request pending), QS ($2K), WS VISA ($2K with CLI request pending), and Cash Magnet ($3K) are under $5K now.
I probably could have asked for more but I didn't want to chance wasting a HP.
ETA: I have been informed that there is no SP with BBVA even if they tell you it will be SP.
Congrats on the increase. This is interesting b/c up to this point I didn't know they could approve you for any kind of CLI w/o a HP. The last time I requested one on my hardly ever used BBVA AMEX was 4 years ago and they doubled my limit after manual review and it was a HP on TU. I'm gonna have to give them a call to see if they'll offer me anything with a SP.

Congratulations on your CLI! Thank you for sharing the data points.
Grats on the double hit
