I've heard different things about getting a CLI with Discover It. I've heard 90 days, 3 billing cycles, 6 months... does anyone know which is accurate? Mine is currently $1800 but my score has jumped significantly since I got the card, and I have been using it and PIF each month. My third statement just hit yesterday, should I go for it or wait a full 90 days? Longer?
Thanks!

You can request a credit line increase after your 90 days or three billing cycles. After that it can be anywhere from 31 days 61 days or 91 days depends on how discover feels.
Be aware that how often you can request and how often you qualify are two entirely different things. The latter depends primarily on your credit profile and income just as it is with any creditor. A creditor may allow you to request every X timeframe but you're not guaranteed to get a CLI every X timeframe.

Don't rely on the usage meme. Again, primary considerations are credit profile and income at time of consideration. It's not just the account itself that matters. It's your entire credit profile.

It's not just a matter of time either. Are you expecting additional significant improvements past 90 days?
