I have an old QS1 Visa (everyone here seems to have MC) and they always tell me there are no offers available. It's my oldest card so I don't want to close it, but geez...
That's the same reply I always get, and my account is eight years old. This is really a YMMV kind of thing. Some folks get a PC to Quicksilver or a complete fee waiver on the first call. Others, like you (and me) always get the same "no offers for the account at this time" each time we ask.
Some folks who can't get anywhere with the frontline CSRs have had luck getting a permanent waiver by going the EO route, but I'm just not up to playing phone-tag waiting for them to call me back. If you don't mind hanging out by the phone, they can be quite effective from what some have said.
Some people will say not to contact the EO about this, but honestly if I really wanted my AF waived permanently I would call God himself if it would get the job done. At one time it was easy to 'abuse' the office for minor requests, but they have sufficient gatekeepers in place now to prevent that (now you generally have to e-mail them, and let them call you back). I'll also add that minor is subjective... when a front-line CSR is unable to prevent a company from taking an AF from my wallet, personally I don't consider that request minor.
That's just my opinion, though... we all have one.
You have to do what you feel is right for you.

UncleB is yourQS1 a Visa or MC? You and I are in the same boat. I'm sitting at $2800 right now. Maybe if/when we get the CL up to5K they'll grant us a PC. My physical card saysQS1, but when I log into my account I notice the card landing page says Visa Platinum.
My QS1 is a MasterCard, and previously was the Orchard Bank 2% cash back card (basically, they nerfed the rewards to 1.5%, and kept the AF the same).
Like you, online it shows up as a 'Platinum', but from what I understand all Quicksilver (or QS1) cards are "Platinum" unless they are "Signature" or "World" - they just don't say "Platinum" across the front any longer. If you dig deep enough on the account web site, you'll come to a screen that details the benefits associated with "Platinum" status (I'm assuming that's why they keep the designation).
I've heard nothing official, but folks on here seem to believe that $3k is the 'magic number' for unlocking the account to be PC'd to another type. I'm exactly $80 away from that now (so close, but so far away... LOL) and I'm hoping for at least a token CLI between now and July. I've pretty much SD'd the card for the moment, which is exactly what you don't do when you want a CLI, but once the holidays are over I'll stop depending on my Discover as much, and I'm going to try to give the the QS1 some activity to help the cause. Of course, some folks have had no problem getting a PC with credit lines under $3k, so as with most things Capital One, this also seems to be YMMV.
If I get my credit line to $3k and it doesn't make a difference in getting the PC (or a permanent waiver) I'll probably just call it a day and merge it into my QS Visa. I've already spent more time concerned about this than I should have, and at some point I need to 'do something' and move on.
If I were you, since you're already so close to $3k yourself, I would try to get a CLI as soon as you're eligible, and see if you have better luck once you cross $3k. If by some chance it does make a difference (i.e. you get a PC), be sure to let us all know!
(especially me!)
