No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
The only retailer I know of that does/did this is Apple.
Here is the link to the place that has the sofa I want, it is showing a red one but I will mostly get the black one, not sure. This is also why I really need a CC with at least a $2,000 CL

In this day and time, it makes absolutely no sense that the store can't charge this to two different cards. They could just charge 2 different miscellaneous items. This would make me wonder what other antiquated systems they have in place -- example, you get the couch, there's a problem, and they won't credit your card.
Yep, I would see if I could find another store or another couch somewhere else. Unbelievable that they would lose out on a $2K sale. And if I were the sales person, I would be some kind of upset missing out on my commission.
Oh well, that's my rant for the day.

That's because you need a separate card to cover the Apple tax.
Visa/MC/Amex gift card. If you buy it in person you can use two cards to pay. But you are going to lose the added protection you get with a CC

This may not be a solution, it's rather a workaround. If your $1750 card has a 0 balance, you can make a $250 bill pay from your bank (initiated FROM your bank accnt). That should make your available credit $2,000.
I can't say I have tested it on all card issuers, so it may be YMMV.
On my capital one, if I prepay, not only does the available credit not increase behind my limit, if I make a purchase it's deducted from my available credit while it's pending, despite having prepaid.

Sadly their selection of sofas is pathetic.
