Discover IT CLI!!

The card was opened on Dec. 2012 with $1.5K CL, called on Mar. 2013 to CLI to $2K, SF.  Called again on June 2013 to CLI to $5K, HP. Just earlier today, I received an e-mail saying that my Discover card CL was increased to $12.8K. Balance was $350/ $5000. Monthly usage was mostly from $0 to $300, except for one big purchase of $2K two months ago, which was PIF immediately. Average history is 10 months. Oldest account 24 months. 

 

I have no clue why they suddenly increased my CLI so drastically. My usage and my AAOA doesn't really warrant this. I suspect Discover is forking out credit to people for Christmas shopping.

Re: Discover IT CLI!!

Congrats 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Discover IT CLI!!

Possibly it was a random look at your credit report, they may of seen how quick and easy you paid down that 2k to 300 dollars and wanted to give you the opportunity to use more of there "loaner" money. Dont use your card for 3 months and see if you get a increase, or how much it will be. congrats on the bumb

I am thinking about doing a hard pull increase from $1500 to 5 or 6k. They wont do it with SP.

Re: Discover IT CLI!!

Nice .. Just two years ago you would be lucky to get $2,000 CL. Times have improved.
