But a CLI is a CLI - and this was a significant one at that - so I wanted to celebrate it here!
About a month ago, WF denied a CLI request for my WF Autograph card. Since then, I paid it off. A few days later, BAM- I got a CLI on the card from $1,700 to $5,100 - 3X larger than before.
Congrats. I have seen multiple reports from people getting CLIs after closing their checking accounts so I've decided to do the same and see what happens. 5+ years with my checking account there and have never gotten a CLI. Granted I have a BK 13 on my reports for another 6-12 months but I'm still tired of the "checking account balance too low" denial excuse.
So now when I apply for a CLI later this year on my Plat and Reflect cards (after my reports are clean) WF will have to come up with a different excuse. I've moved all my DD's to NFCU.
Congrats on the 3x increase!
This may be partial explaination for what happened to mine. I've said in a couple of places here that I got a requested CLI and then two weeks later got an auto-CLI. That had me a bit confused. But what I left out of that story was that my 0% period was just about over and about the time of all this CLI business, I paid off about $3200 that I'd been letting ride there. I'm thinking that's what triggered the 2nd increase after reading your story. I think someone else recently got a good CLI from them right after making a big payment.
Starting Score: EQ8 680, TU8 713, EX8 701
Congrats on a very nice increase! Hadn't heard of this card but its now on the goal list.

It's become one of my favorites. It's got 3% back on some of the highest spend categories (gas, travel, dining, phone/Internet with cell phone insurance), as well as streaming, with 1% back on everything else. IMHO it was more of a no-brainer when the SUB was $300, but the SUB is still compelling at $200.
I transitioned my dining spending to my SavorOne card after I got that because the CL on my Autograph was so low. Capital One gave me an easier CLI on the SavorOne (and a higher SL), so I might continue to use that card as my primary card for dining, groceries and entertainment. But WF does seem to have rewarded me for my heavy use of the Autograph, and for paying it off early during the 0% intro period.
It would be the reverse for me. SavorOne card is slowly inching toward $1000 with $100 increases every six months. Been banking with Wells Fargo for about a year now but haven't paid attention to credit cards in general for awhile. Prefer to replace SavorOne with Autograph. Excited about the categories! 
Not sure if I'd be approved at the moment though. Scores hovering around 680. Will attempt in April after paying a 0% card carrying a balance down to $0.
