Just show it plenty of love and keep doing what you're doing, and as long as cap1 keeps up their recent trends, you should get an auto CLI or be able to ask for a CLI that'll put you above the minimum $5k threshold.
Don't be too upset about not getting the Signature... it's not that big of a deal unless you are into really high-end hotels. Actually, the only useful perk I can think of is the movie ticket perk with Fandango. Once your credit line is $5K or greater you can likely have Capital One change your account over, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
One other thing that is different is a 'Signature' card will be on your credit report as a "Flexible Spending Account" instead of "Revolving". When they first came out some folks had problems because they didn't report a credit limit (similar to Amex charge cards) which messed up the utilization on their credit scores, but this has been corrected.
The 'Flexible Spending Account' means that in theory you are able to charge above the credit limit, with the overage amount due in full in addition to the usual minimum payment. However, in reality not too many folks on here ever exercise that feature, since doing so would make the card report to the credit bureau as 'maxed out', possibly (likely) lowing your credit score. It's also been discussed if the 'feature' is even there at all, since CSRs are usually not too keen on telling folks it's OK to disregard their credit limit (specifically and especially Capital One) so most folks with Signature cards treat the CL as the 'real' CL even though they should be able to charge over it.
All this being said, I have two Visa cards with the exact same credit limits. One happens to be a Signature, the other is not, and I honestly can't tell a bit of difference between the two. 
^I feel like having the "signature" printed on your card just makes you feel a bit fancier. Haha.

The cashier at The Dollar Tree was super impressed with mine 
See what I mean? I know I would feel special having a siggy.
I work in retail, so I see my fair share of CCs daily, and now that I know a lot about CCs, I'm impressed anytime someone pulls out a CSP or a WMC or an Amex (of any sort) or any visa signature for that matter.
