How much was your first Barclay credit line increase on your rewards card?

I specifically have a Barclays rewards card but any card from Barclays is fine. I started with a $2000 credit limit in my 5th statement is being cut in a few days. I was hoping for some auto love is not having to ask. How much did you receive on your first initial credit line increase? And how far out was it? 5 months 6 months a year etc? Thank You :-)

$1.7k after 6 months, while carrying a BT. High balance was $1.66k/$2k. Had it down to $815 when 6th statement cut and auto luv came. Gave it some swipes here and there. Always paid well before due date and way more than the minimum.

@ 5 1/2 months CLI $1500

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: How much was your first Barclay credit line increase on your rewards card?

I've had my NFL Visa since January 3, 2015. No CLI's. I've had my Sallie Mae since April 3, 2015. No CLI's. In fairness, if I were Barclays I wouldn't give me one either. The only thing I use the SM for is gas and groceries, and I never carry a balance. The only thing I've used the NFL card for since the bonus spend is a 0% balance transfer check. They're losing money on me.
