Congratulations!  I started with the same $300 limit and asked for them to raise it to $10,000, but they countered with a raise to $5,000.  They have to know that $300 is almost useless as a CL.  It took about a year before I got it.  I used it for a few very small purchases at first and then, after being denied a couple of times, I just stopped using it.  I recently did a CLI spree and they ended up being the biggest CLI I received.

Re: Got' em!!

Your persistence is truly remarkable! 

What was the time span from your first attempt to your 11th? 

Just curious...

Congrats to you!
