SPs and typically its 6 months but there have been cases of less time of late so if you have had a few months of time pass since last CLI I would try the love button, good luck

You can contact the eo and tell then that your credit limit is too low and you would like their card to your primary card. They tell you that they will have a credit analyst look at it and that it will be a soft pull of your credit.

I just got an increase via button. My account is 2 month old. Id tried after my 2nd statment and letter said it account to new. Then i tried 10 days after my 2nd statement and bam got an increase. The only reason i tried an increase is because i seen a post on here of someone getting an increase when account was only 2 months old.

Was it a soft pull or hard pull?

I was told by a credit analyst from Capital One that the best way to get a CLI and pretty decent increase is to use your card as much as possible. Don't be affraid to push the limit of your card up to 90%. Just pay down the balance as soon as the pending charges are posted. He said that this is a sure way to get a CLI if you call through the EO office. I'm currently working on doing this with my Quicksilver One card, which I was upgraded to only 1 week after receiving my Cap1 Platinum card. I only have a $300 limit on it, but the analyst told me to use it like crazy and call back in a month or so and I should be able to get upwards of $2,000 +. They try to match your limit with your spending habit. The more you spend, the bigger buffer of a limit you should have. Just PIF no matter what! Also, only worry about your utilization rate when you are trying to apply for new credit, not so much a CLI.

A new card will get a CLI after 6 months, use you card on a regular and you will be eligible for a increase every 6 months. I just hit the love button and got approvesd for 4 out of 5 CLI. Yes
