Re: Sallie Mae, Chase Freedom, and Discover - Approved!

Discover was the first on I applied for, and honestly I was a little disappointed in the credit limit since it was less than half of all my other cards (not counting retail cards).  Not really a big deal, since I'm usually at 1-2% utilization (and will probably be a lot lower now) overall, and I'm not planning to use the card heavily for now anyway since I have other gas and restaurant options (Sallie Mae and Citi Forward).  I always hear a lot about Capital One being conservative but they've been far and away the most generous with my limits.  I hadn't really heard anything about Discover before.

Discover is very odd with its credit limits. They doubled my highest CL 1500 when I applied. I heard that that if you have higher credit lines they give you lower limits and if you have lower credit lines they give you higher limits than normal. I always wanted the discover it sense it came out but now that I have it I really dont use it that much. Sallie mae and chase amazon get my most usage.
