But would not budge. Currently have 2 US cards and no option to move credit line from either of those. Specifically said they wanted to see more usage history with the 6 month old one. No option to talk to a supervisor.

Any advice?

I had that same conversation with the same reasons given for denial and they agreed to close one of my other Barclays cards and open an Arrival card with the same limit as the card I canceled.
