I got my BCP in August with a $19,300 CL. On day 61 I asked for a CLI to $25k, got shot down because apparently I counted wrong and was only on day 60. I called the next day and was shot down again because they wanted to see more history.
In between then and now I ran several thousand through it, and also took advantage of the 0% intro by letting a few thousand carry over a few months. PIF now and my current statement is at 3% util.
So I called again today and requested the $25K again, and got a counter-offer for a $2,500 increase for a new CL of $21,800. I accepted, good enough for me. Not bad for a day's work and no HP either.
Starting Score: 690

Congrats !! How have you enjoyed the cash rewards so far ? Pretty good, huh ?
$263 so far. I'm saving them for a trip to Branson, MO next month.
You know what else is nice? Even though this card is only 6 months old it's backdated to 2002 when I had a Blue for Students. Before the rep hung up she said thanks for being a cardholder for the past decade, we hope to serve you for another decade.
Nice !!
