Contact the customer service department of the card issuer. They will ask a few questions, for example, if your source of income has increased since you originally opened the account. They may also look at the person's credit-debt-income ratio and perhaps their complete credit report. If your account is in good standing it's possible they will waive all these options and increase your credit line. Any action concerning the account could be noted on the person's credit report whether or not the increase is granted.
