I joined NFCU last year, after years of thinking I was ineligible for membership, but turned out to be double eligible between my father's army service and my grandfather's navy service.
I got approved for a CashRewards+ card with a $7,100 starting limit (ignore the typo that I can't edit in my old post) and tried the 91 day CLI after putting almost $6K in charges on it and PIF. No joy. I kept trying every 20-30 days, putting charges on it here and there, but still wasn't getting anywhere.
Last month I ran the card up to $5,500, paid it down to $3,500 before the statement cut, and waited. Today I bit the bullet, expecting another denial, but instead was rewarded with an increase to $13,100! It's not the $8K max increase, but I will definitely take it! Finally on that Navy Gravy Train™
Congrats on the CLI! You're starting limit was the same as mine.
That's awesome. You went up in rank 
Congrats on your CLI

Congrats it sounds like when Navy approved u for the card they gave u the Max for your profile and as someone else said i dont think it was the spend that got u the increase. It was your account got some age on it i put no where near that spend on my card and my last two NFCU CLIs have been the 8K max. With that increase amount i believe they are warming up to u your next one will probaly be the 8K max. And next request if it isnt instant dont fret i allways request at 6AM and by 7PM it shows on the account will be looking for your next post about your 8K max increase.
