Congrats on your approval and great limit. It seems that perhaps they are basing the limits on income and score more than existing limits. What was your previous highest limit?
In my case (others may be different) probably true. My second highest limit is just 12K primarily I think because I applied for too many CCs in a short period of time (8 CCs in 5 months). I finally realized I needed to just garden for a while.
+1 I need to garden seriously, but can't bring myself to do it.

I'm not sure CL is based on income>. I too was approved for $40K. See info below:
Income - $60K
EX Fico - 774
EQ Fico - 773
TU Fico - 773
AAoA - 5.5 yrs
CUtil - <7%
@I think it's more based on score, income and amount of credit available. I just received my card today @15k. I also just received my TU FICO from BofA which has it at 762. I tried to do a cli with Diners and was denied due to income and amount of credit available. The lending team actually called me back with the decision. As you see in my Ziggy I have a lot of available credit, but I'm happy to get the 15k from them.
