Just Approved Discover, CL recon? I just got a 15pts upward jump.

Hello

Is it possible to call recon my CL for my just approved Discover iT? When I was approved in Thursday I had a 645 EQ FICO and now its 660.

 

Would they recon a higher limit?

 

They also pulled EQ and TU.

Discover usually doesn't recon CL. Plus it would probably be a Hp.

You can always try. Worst answer you'll get is no. What was the limit they have you?

I have a feeling that even with score increase you won't get an increase. You're gonna have to use that card a lot to establish you're spending patterns with then. Even then discover, is very conservative with increases .

+1

And it looks like they've given you largest CL. Can't count Kay's since its not on your CR's.

I think you should leave well enough alone but if you want to try- go for it. Good luck!

It never hurts to recon. Just make sure anything they do is a soft-pull only.

I did it.

I apped yesterday and was approved for $1500. I called back and asked if I could get a higher limit and was told. "No, you can ask for a CLI in 6mo" I asked to talk to a supervisor, after a brief hold I was told one would call me back within 24h. A lady called me back this morning and after a few questions my initial CL went from $1500 to $3000.

It's worth a shot. Worst thing that is going to happen is a "no".

Starting Score: EQ 599, TU 577
Current Score: EQ 703 9/20/14(HI 741 on 5/13), TU 690 10/1/14 (HI 751 on 5/13), EX 700 10/1/14

HOLY HECK, VEGASKYLE!
Seeing that story is like seeing a ufo.

Op, what you could do...is inform them that your credit report has changed substantially, and if it has been within 60 days (usually the time frame) you could have them re eval your lim based on an "updated" report. That could improve your after promo apr as well?
I should have tried this with Amex BCE app to get my APR improved but didnt. Just remem, it has to be within 60 days.
