Stevez333 it doesn't matter as long as you use the card heavily. However $1K a month is really good to the cc company wether it's one or multiple swipes. Good question.
I myself charge $3K-$4K a month on all my cards but that's is because I pay all my bills every expense on the card. I pay my water bill, car loan(it's my parents car but I use my credit card for rewards and for usage and my parents give me $$$$ of the payment amount so it is like a free cash advance) cable, cell phone, exc I even use my credit card to purchase items at my job and company pays me the amount used. Capital one quicksilver visa is still at its SL $3000
HAD IT FOR almost 3 months

I feel your pain OP. I tried to get my old Cap One Platinum's limit increased with no luck. I apped for a QS 3 months ago and tried several times after 60 days with no increase. I then apped for a Venture and low and behold after having the Venture for only a few weeks and passing the 90 day mark on the QS. They gave me a $400 CLI on the QS tonight. lol
Capital one does some odd things. But they sure give terrific SL's on some of their cards!
If you want a real nice limit, I'd app for the Venture and maybe throw the QS in there as well. Hopefully all on the same pull.

The main reason that I want to keep this card -- and if possible, extend on the current CL -- is because it is really the only true travel-redemption card in my portfolio. Also, I'm kinda not a fan so much of the higher APRs that most travel rewards cards (including those of Cap1's present card products) offer, whereas this card has a lower-than-typical APR for a rewards card, plus the 2% rewards along with no AF. The go-to APRs alone of the Cap1 Venture and QS that can be obtain right now are an incentive of sorts for me to keep this older-generation/discontinued Cap1 card.

CCC like to see reasonable usage, not up to the limit either contrary to what people think. They also like lots of swipes.
Try decreasing your usage and see what happens, LOL..If you're using it a lot, do the opposite! They might notice the decline in usage and finally bump you.
That's actually what I'm currently trying to do, at the moment -- keeping balance at or near-zero, in the hopes they will come around

I'm not saying you need to apply for a new card but that would be an option. With your scores being significantly higher than mine you should do well. However I've historically have had an average of less than 2% report, and rarely (1-2) times report 8%. Utilization isn't remembered, but I'm sure Cap 1 has taken note.
Interesting data point. My coworker has a lot better scores than me (similar to yours) but has 59% utlization. She got a $5K Venture and $3K Venture 1.
+1,
I got 10K on venture and 3K on QS Visa(regular) on 8/8. and 5K on Venture 1 on 9/10.
My 2 1/2 yr old QS1 is stuck at 2500. go figure......
