I've got the same issue but I only have the secured card. It seems they do an internal calculation after the first 6 months you e had it and maybe the following 6 months but after that, nothing. I have gone months paying my entire balance off and Ive had my card for almost 3 years now I think. I've raised the limit about a year ago and still nothing.
Starting Score: 549
@Anonymous First of all, I would like to applaud you for the patient that you show for the card. I read in another thread that you've had the card for 3.5 years and it still hasn't graduated. Just wow. Have you tried using the *bleep* out of the card one month? Let the statement cut w/ near max out, and then the next month pay it off w/ $0 balance? Maybe call CSR or send a SM and ask them what you can do to get the card graduated?
Just some DP when my card graduated after 6 months. I've always carried a balance every month, up to as much as 997/1000 limit on the 5th statement. Then I paid it off and let a $0 balance reported on the 6th statement. The next day after the statement generated, they graduated my card. My Navy score started at 640 and by the time it graduated was 673. GL!!

I stopped in to add...
Also try making multiple payments each month to possibly raise tour internal score, at this point I could not hurt!
Good luck 🤗
I did not realized the until was around 90% for such a time period, as well you have gone over the CL at least once.
If it were me, & happy to be approved for a 2ns card,
on this secured card I would run 2x -3x the expenses though it forn3 months while making 2-3 payments per month on it.
I do not believe such of an mount of spend would be considered out of the ordinary (with this issuer considering your MoreRewaeds approval which has yet to have a spend track record) they could be expecting your spend to increase a bit given that they recently reviewed your credit & approved you for another CC.
Just my 2 cents!
