I make charges on the Double Cash card occassionally.  My spend is pretty modest.  Doesn't seem to matter too much for CLI approval from Citibank.  They don't ask for a specific increase amount; their system decides what, if any CLI to extend.  In general I think they tend to bring card holders along at a modest steady pace.  I was refused a couple CLIs when credit tightened after the pandemic's onset.  But since January things seem to have improved, at least for me.

Note: accepted a 0.99% BT offer, paid a 3% fee, some months ago, $1400/5500 which is payed down to below $496.00 when I asked for this CLI.
