Discover More auto APR decrease

I have had my Discover a few years now. I have been using it pretty heavily the last couple months. The first year and a half or so the APR was 22% or something ridiculous like that. In the past year I have successfully called twice to get a CL increase and APR decrease (soft pulls). I was at 14.24% last month, but when I checked my October statement it was 12.24%. I don't plan on carrying a balance anytime soon but it's cool they did that automatically. Now if they would just give an auto CLI along with it...

Re: Discover More auto APR decrease

Congrats!!! This makes me happy to have just gotten a Discover!!! I remember before the financial crisis when you could easily get a 9.24% rate on credit cards lol... I hope those lower fixed rates come back in the future! Haha :-)

Re: Discover More auto APR decrease

I currently have a 0% offer active on purchases, so they told me they can't change anything until after the promo is over in June 2013. They started my card high at 18.99% but I am sure they will lower it after June. I hope.
