Unfortunately BofA CSR's are not well-versed on the credit reporting topic. From everyone I've heard from, BofA does not report the credit limit of any Visa Signature card.

The intro 0% APR boosted my confidence level even though I ended up not using it, but you may find it helpful for carrying a balance while building a high balance.
what if you buy something expensive just before day your statement ends and then return it after it reports lol
The high balance is as of the end of the day, so you could execute this strategy any time, but remember you'd have to wait for the charge to be reflected on the balance; a pending charge may not count. 
Good luck finding something expensive that's easily returnable.
