Surprise again! Capital One QS CLI to $30K

On a whim, I applied for a soft pull CLI again on my Capital One Quicksilver card tonight.  Approved for another $2K increase and a new CL of $30K!  Smiley Very Happy

For years, I slowly grew my Capital One Quicksilver but it was a tedious process that usually involved moderate sustained spending.  It started out as a non-bucketed Platinum card with $1K limit in 2009.   Finally >in March 2020<, I reached my goal of $25K on the card and thought I was done.  (See the link for spend and other data points.)

 

However, imagine my surprise when they gave me additional $1K CLIs to $26K,   $27K,  and then to  $28K in 2022 without significant spending.  Smiley Surprised  Those also occurred with less than six month intervals, breaking another rule that I thought applied to Capital One CLIs.  After a few denials since the last one, they approved me for the $2K tonight after a little over six months.  (All of my CLIs have been initiated by myself, not automatic.)

 

For data points, in the last 12 months, I've only have five statements post a balance.  Those balances were mostly low at $90 to $200 with only one at $500.  For whatever reason, this spend is considerably less than what I'm accustomed-to for a successful CLI.

 

Hope these helps others who are hopeful for a Capital One CLI.
