GEMB doesn't seem to do recons. I tried w/my recent Walmart to get a CLI and didn't get it. Their reason on the letter: "not enough time with current credit line." No kidding. I just got approved today! (tried for CLI/recon same day as approval.) They do seem quirky. Give it 6 months and try again in the summer. 
This post is reason enough for me NOT to apply! Was thinking about it all day

I could scream though with the reasons of WHY I can't speak to underwriting... I miss dealing with GE Business backed cards, you could be in underwriting in 2 minutes and they would review things with you and increase BIG lines in seconds... GE personal is like sorry computer has decisioned that and I would not overturn it and you can't speak to underwriting. I was like I have with Dillards Amex and she quickly snipped back that was after you are approved... you can speak to them after approved but not before!!! Yes you read that right!
Not all CSR's are like AmEx and Discover's CSR's 
Sorry for your decline, Maybe call again and you'll get a CSR that cares???
Best of Luck!
