Re: Discover $6500 Increase!

Musiclover, that's one heck of a CLI... huge congrats!  screamer.gif

 

It does seem to be either feast or famine with Discover, though... I fully expect to be back in the $500 club after my last CLI!

 

Again, congrats and enjoy!

P.S.  Sorry I'm late to the party... we'll blame it on the "great slowdown of 2016",,, LOL!  Smiley LOL

ML, would you share usage, payments, etc with us? I know Discover is difficult to predict, but anything helps. Thanks! Smiley Happy


Thanks for the reminder, humu. I sure will.

 

Discover is one of my daily drivers. It just hit a year old so there will be interest on the account from now on if there is a balance. My interest rate is 12.99. My account started at 10k and I was able to get it to 16k by small increases and one increase of 2500. I carried a balance of about 3k and charged at least 1k per month and make 1k payments monthly so the balance remained.

 

This month I paid my 3k bill and left no balance. This is the first large CLI I have received. This month my TU score increased from low 700's to where it is now at 758. (Just an fyi-I did that with an installment loan with SoFi.)

 

Just another data point. I had a Discover card years ago with a CL of 5k and closed it before my financial troubles in 2008.Hope this helps someone.


These are great data points... FWIW I did the same thing just before I got my first 'big' (for me) CLI with them. 

 

I was carrying a 0% BT and using it for the categories (also 0%) but before the promo ran out I paid the whole thing off... that payment was similar to yours (just over $3k).  It was just after this when I 'graduated' from the $500 club. 

 

It would seem that unlike Capital One, Discover appears to 'count' paying off a large BT as activity that warrants a CLI.  Smiley Wink
