New card CL increase through recon any strategy?

Hello I have read here that some people get a CL increase on a new card after approval. Any suggestions on how to go about that? I got a WF Cash Wise invitation. Was declined. Called and did recon and got approved but only for 1,000. Would like to see about a better CL.

Immediately trying for a CLI after being issued on something already reconsidered to get in the door? I would not advise it.

Give the card some love and experience. After 3-6 months, consider asking for more. I would not try after already getting a recon success.

Plus, it's WF. They aren't exactly known for being overly generous. Unless you are my GF- she's the only one that I know of that gets nice auto CLI's from them...

NFCU $60.4k/PenFed $22.5k/Commerce $15K/53 $11K/Synovus $14K/BBT $11K/CapOne $12K/DCU $7.5K/BMO $7.5K/Chase $14.5k/Cabelas $10K/ and many many more!
Total CL $398600, plus car and RV loan.
Ooh. Ooh. Getting closer to that $500K mark!

Good luck! I know it sucks waiting but that is the biggest factor for success with FICO.
