Discover CLI

I just got $900 CLI on my Discover It card, bringing it to $3,900. I ran about $3k through it in the first month (car down payment) and paid it off the next day. Then I used about $600 each month on it until last month, when I decided to use the 0% APR and maintain a $2k balance.

 

I was so sure that holding a balance would eliminate my chances of getting a CLI, but I guess not! Just like with my Chase Amazon CLI last week, this came after the 4th statement.

Unlike most lenders, Discover actually prefers if you carry a balance on their products.  Using the card and carrying a balance makes them happy!
