I know chase CLIs are HPs but since I have three and wanted CLIs on all of them how would I go about doing that in six months?
You might get an auto CLI at 6 months I did, I went from $800 to $1100. Hopefully you will get the same niceness from Chase.
The only auto I got from Chase was on the JPM Select. I made a few big purchases and a couple of big payments subsequently. I don't even think it was 6 months old (the card I mean) and went from 7K to 18K unrequested. Means very little because it is a hidden trade line, but if I wanted to reallocate CLs later, it would be helpful.

I have CSP and united both at $5,000 and freedom at $1,500
Freedom Visa Signature: $6500 (September or October 2011)
Slate Visa: $7000 (Same as Freedom)
JPM Select Visa Signature: $18,000 (April or May of 2012)
Marriott Premier Visa Signature: $20,000
I use the Freedom the most and never an auto. I just got (December 2012) the Marriott and put about $1300 through it and paid to zero. No auto.
What CLI amount would be worth a HP, considering how long you've had their products?

Yeah, a dice roll at best. You never know what any lender is going to come back with in terms of increases. Jump the gun too early and that HP might only be worth a few hundred bucks.
Chase is not always the best with giving credit limit increases, as you experienced when you tried to get one for the Freedom card. You may likely end up with three hard inquiries and barely any incresaes, if at all. They will not use the same inquiry for different cards, unless you get a nice analyst.
I know everyone loves big limits but considering how much he's app'd in the last two years (I've been reading posts here) and the amount of time with Chase, they may feel it's too much too soon. Worse yet, they may think needing so much and closing accounts is a red flag.
You never know what odd factors are used in algorithms to extend credit. Amex denied a CLI with a better overall credit/debt profile than when they approved me, LOL!

What do you mean by hidden credit line?
