Just wanted to brag a little as I have worked my butt off trying to pull my credit score up. I took what I'm assuming will be a HP to request a cli from $1200 to $5200, got the 7-10 day message and 2 hours later I logged on to see my new $5200 credit line!!! I am so unbelievably PUMPED!! It is now my biggest cl.
Details: 5% overall util spread over 3 of my 6 current cards- one card is at 10% util, one at 9% and one at <1%. The kicker is that I put $500+ thru my H.D. card over the past few days, so my bal was $500 something out of my $1200 cl.. I will probably never ever carry a balance even close to that $5200 but it sure will help in keeping my total util low which is my biggest goal. SO,SO happy!! 
P.s. Opened this card in the fall of 2011 and this was my first cli request. I'm fully expecting a HP but it was SO worth it! Citi has been very good to me.
That's great, Congrats on your nice CLI!
Starting Score: EQ 717 EX 724 TU 736
CONGRATS!!!!

After seeing your post:
I just went from 3k to 8800 via the online form. I received the 7-10 business day message as well. Prior to that I went from 1k to 4500 on Lowes.

CONGRATS on your CLI!
Home Depot/CITI has been very good to me over the years. Keep an eye out, you're likely to get another promo in probably 3-6 months of usage. I just got one, they are making their usual 0% financing for 18 months for purchases over $499, AND offering to bump my CL from $9700, to $11,700! I'm very tempted, but I don't have any big purchases planned. But if you get one if these, you'll be golden with them!
