No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
No need to contact the bureaus, as that won't help at all.
I haven't used myFico's monitoring in a while, but it used to be that in the background they would check your reports a couple times a week and if something happened to trigger a change (a new account, change in balance, etc.), and you had the alerts setup for those changes, you would get the updated score. Sometimes it lagged behind a couple days, but it was pretty good.
Keep in mind that adding a new account could be a wash score wise, especially with that small of a CL. The new inquiry (i'm sure there was one) and the effect on your age of accounts usually offsets the credit limit boost, unless your utilization was above a bracket and this lowered it into a new bracket (i.e. went from 32% to 19%.
Hope it all works out for you.
