I called and spoke to a rather condescending woman who treated me like I was trying to cheat them and said I could apply for an increase in 6 months!?!?! I felt like cancelling the card on the spot! I will probably work through my bonuses and do just that!

Any one have a similar experience or is it just me? I think the low limit is probably due to the fact that I keep an AMEX card right now just to use at Costco, so it doesn't get much use.
Amex started reducing their limits for everyone about a year ago. Check out some older threads on the US SPG Amex. You'll see it's just not you.
