Mini app spree success (2 for 2)!

So I applied for both student versions of citi forward and discover it cards and was both approved!
Citi forward - $2500
Discover IT - $1000

Although I'm greatful for the approval, I feel like the discover limit should be higher. Has anyone had experiences with discover credit limit recons? How did it go for u?

Amex Simplycash Business - $15000 Citi Costco - $12000 Citi Double Cash - $10000 Discover IT - $12000 Chase Sapphire Reserve - $32000

Congrats on your mini app spree! Discover usually never gives a CLI at time of activation or recon. Wait the 6 months to get the auto CLI. They are usually really generous. But if you do get one keep us posted.

Congrats on the approvals. I agree your starting limit is kind of low. Maybe it's because you applied for student versions because both your FICO scores and limits on existing cards are pretty good.

+1 just keep the balance low and you should see a bump at the 6 mo mark.

If you are under 21, you won't get a client from discover. Grats on the approvals and that forward will surely grow Smiley Happy
