Discover you're killin me

Just tried for Discover CLI again and this came up...I don't know if it is worth the HP! What do you guys think? My limit is only $500 which is annoying and I use this card all the time.Screen Shot 2015-04-19 at 11.08.26 AM.png

Re: Discover you're killin me

I wouldn't chance it. When I took a HP it was only a $500 increase that turned into $1500 bc I contacted the EO. Since then I've gotten two 1k SP increases. Not taking anymore HP's for an increase with Discover. How long have you had the card?

Re: Discover you're killin me

I've only had it since December but I was hoping now that the 4th statement cut that I would get some sort of increase

Re: Discover you're killin me

Sorry to see that happen to you, especially considering the amount of soft-pull love they have been giving to others lately.  How long have you had the card?  If it hasn't been open very long, you might need a bit more history on it before you'll be eligible for a CLI.

 

I think if you're willing to take a HP, you might be better off calling them and speaking to a credit analyst.  I would be afraid of only getting say a $500 increase for a HP via the online system.  Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.

Re: Discover you're killin me

I've had mine since October. Discover sometimes takes awhile to start showing love Smiley Happy If you feel your profile warrants an increase and dont mind using a HP you can try. It will be TU. But don't be surprised if its the common $500 increase they seem to give.

Re: Discover you're killin me

I get the same thing and I have had mine since April 2014 at $500.  For the longest I didn't get anything.  Then it "opened" up and I would get declined.  Now it states it wants to pull a report. 

 

I guess that's progress LOLOL

 

I won't take a HP though, in fear of the $500 increase.  I willjust use it as I can.  Luckily I got the Freedom recently with $2000 so that can cover the category this time Smiley Very Happy

 

So I feel you OP Smiley Sad
