She wanted to confirm that I was trying to make the purchase and said she would notify the system to allow the purchase.

As for ramping up, here is my purchase history for the first ~3 weeks with the first column being the # of days after activating the card. Purchases have continued at roughly the same rate.

Day Amount
1 1000
4 2000
5 2000
7 3000
8 1000
9 3000
11 1000
12 3000
18 4000
23 5000
Thanks a lot for the info. What CL did you build up this quickly with? I got a $1500 purchase through yesterday but was first declined at the register and had to wait almost 10 minutes for an automated fraud call to come in. Also, how many times in that 23 day span did you pay the card off in full?
